Hello everyone, I just completed a fresh installation and the two new storage devices (one NVMe/M.2 and one HDD) appear in the BIOS but not in Disk Management. I upgraded the BIOS to version F20a and all drivers seem current. I've tested every SATA port and relocated the M.2 drive, yet it still doesn't show up. I've adjusted the BIOS settings a bit, but some changes trigger BSODs during boot (CSM and VMD configurations). Am I mistaken in thinking that just because they appear in BIOS they're not dead? I haven't tried them on another machine yet... That's where I stand right now. Everything else functions perfectly except for these two drives. Appreciate your time and assistance!

Specs: 12600K Z690 UD DDR4 32Gb G.Skill Neo Trident Crucial BX100 (working) WD Blue SSD (working) Seagate Ironwolf (not working) Samsung 980pro (not working) Focus GX-550 Windows 10 64bits ver.21H2

DiskPart displays Start + R, then opens DiskPart, and finally navigates to the list disk option.

The new drives aren't showing up. The last two are USB sticks.

Occasionally, storage devices appear in the BIOS or Device Manager but not in Disk Management. This usually indicates they're still functional.

I've never encountered such actions before... I had to set up separate storage areas for each drive, and now they show up in Disk Management and everything looks good. Appreciate the assistance—I wouldn't have managed it otherwise!
