My old system fried due to suge & power supply malfunction. Lost CPU, 2 drives, motherboard, power supply. New system is as follows: ASUS Prime Z590-A LGA Motherboard, Intel 11 Gen i5-10600KF, Cooler Master Liquid ML240 GRB V-2, Zotac Gaming GeForce TRX 3050, and Samsung 870 EVO SATA III SSD 1TB. .... Everything boots up fine the BIOS see everything. However When trying to install Windows 10 from a Bootable USB flash drive, Windows Install can't find a bootable device. Also the BIOS is unable to find a bootable device. .... What to do? I'm 75 Years Young disabled retired farmer and a bit dense and this system is all I was able to afford to put together. Sure could use some help or suggestions to follow. Thanks in advance. My eMail is [email protected]

Initial thought is the SATA disk isn't connected properly... Also, why choose a SATA drive instead of an M2 drive? Which is faster, smaller, and easier to install? Another suggestion: the 3050 model is not worth its cost; if you return it, you might get a better option like the 6600 or 6600XT. A good image could help if something was overlooked.

The plugs fit snugly yet firmly, and the motherboard BIOS recognizes the drive accurately, showing its size correctly. It doesn’t treat it as a bootable device like Windows does during installation. You’ll need to initialize the disk and create a partition—120GB for your Windows C drive, with the remaining space for games and data. Since you’re using a gaming notebook with an external docking station, you’re in Adm. Disk Management. For MBR or GPT? It depends on your needs; GPT is preferred for larger drives and better compatibility.

I updated the system by swapping the 1TB SSD into a docking station connected to my ASUS Gaming Notebook. I configured partitions with 120 GB for Windows 10 and left the rest as a data drive, both set as new volumes. After that, the notebook recognized both partitions. I then reinstalled the SSD in the desktop as the sole drive. The BIOS version is UEFI 1007 x14, build 7/8/21, and it recognizes the drive correctly. But when trying to boot from a USB, it reports "No Singed Device Drives Found." I need help finding or installing the missing device drives.
