Both drives lack partitions. Select "New" to make a new partition. It seems these are brand-new drives—you must partition them first before saving files or installing the operating system. You can manage this via the menu or later in Windows.

I used a different model recently—ROG X470-F—and reinstalled the operating system. Clicking "new" didn’t help.

In fact, I noticed another intriguing detail. A blue screen appeared right after the conversion to GPT. The code involved a reference pointer issue.

Windows will handle partitioning and formatting a RAW drive on its own without any user input. Just choose the drive and click next.

I’m pretty certain I had to install on a new drive the other time. That was roughly a year ago, so I could be mistaken about the details.

I completed the task after converting to GPT. Also, remember to click 'new' if needed.
