Hey there! I'm trying to figure this out. My friend got a 2TB Crucial P3 Gen 3 NVMe M.2 drive, and we installed it on his PC which uses an MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX motherboard. We booted up with the old 3.5 SATA SSD and Windows still running. He wanted to clone data to the new M.2, but it didn't work—PC wouldn't even start. Now we're using SATA 1 and 2 ports for the 3.5 SSD and a 1TB HDD, and we had to turn on RAID in BIOS. After that, the 3.5 SSD and HDD disappeared from the file explorer and Disk Manager—only showing up in BIOS. When we right-click them in Disk Manager, nothing happens except the help button. Maybe it's a BIOS setting issue? Should we update or reset BIOS? I see similar problems elsewhere, but most people can't see other drives in BIOS or Disk Manager. I'm not super tech-savvy, but anyone's opinion would be super helpful. Also, when we removed the NVMe drive, it worked fine with the 3.5 SSD and the HDD. Everything seems plugged in correctly.
