Question cant find SSD during Windows install

[perez jens]

Hello,

I want to do a fresh install on my "gaming" laptop.
wich is the Acer Nitro AN515-58
but i ran into a problem.. and that is while i booted from the Win USB.
I cant find my SSD to format it, and delete all files for a fresh install.
the SSD is NVMe Micron_3400_MTFDKBA512TFH formatted in NTFS, partition style GPT

That does not look like you're booting from a valid USB.
The "Disk 0" you see IS the USB.

Booting from that will not show that.

the USB is formatted in FAT32 with only the windows install on it.
and I boot from that, so i dont know whats wrong.

i have used Windows Media Creation tool, on a FAT32 USB and booting from that. so what am i doing wrong then?

I do not know what is wrong.
But what you see in that Install window is NOT booting from the USB.

apparantly i was doing nothing wrong.
I had to download the SSD driver into the bootable USB and install it during windows installation, and the SSD popped up.
thx anyway
