    Question How to get my Samsung 980 pro M.2 SSDs recognised

    [SOLVED] My new build won’t boot, code A2 ?

    Unfortunately, both my M.2 nvme Samsung 980 pro sticks are not being recognised. Not visible in Samsung Magician or in Windows 11, though I can see them in my Aorus BIOS. Seems to be a driver issue. I have tried to download the Samsung nvme 3.3 driver from their website, but it is not installing.

I do have Wi-Fi on my other...

    [SOLVED] My new build won’t boot, code A2 ?

    Yes, I tried deleting partitions, first on my M.2 drives, then on my SATA drives, each time the installation starts and then ends with the message Windows could not prepare the computer to boot into the next phase of installation. To install Windows, restart the installation.
