Question Crucial p5 plus compatible with ASROCK b760m?

[vogeljd]

I'm building out the system based on the recommended $800 gaming build. I am finding that I cannot get the suggested nvme recognized in the bios. Eg. The asrock b760m motherboard does not detect the crucial p5 plus nvme. When I go to crucial's website they identify the p3 as a compatible product, but not the p5, should it work? I tried it in both the m2 ultra and secondary m2 slot, neither recognized the card. The intel rst page in the bios does however show the device.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Which BIOS version are you currently on for your motherboard? As for your $800 build, which build are you referring to?

This is the build I followed -- https://www.tomshardware.com/best-picks/best-pc-builds-gaming

Bios is version 4.05 which appears to be the latest.

Hello vogeljd. Question: What happens when you plug-in the flash drive, containing the Windows installer, into the motherboard's USB port and power up the computer? Does the installer recognize the SSD?

motherboard model: ASRock B760M-HDV

No, it complains about not finding a drive and offers me the ability to rescan for devices or to browse to media for installing a driver.

Call the number, and ask the operator to connect you to tech support. And if you wouldn't mind, please keep this message thread updated, as we'd be interested in knowing if they have a solution.

Further, while the bios shows no nvme devices, the bios page for the intel rapid storage technology does identify the disk.

I got a wd black nvme and had the same experience. Then I found that if I disabled the sata controller in the bios and disabled intel vmd in the bios, then the bios recognizes my nvme.

Then when I boot off usb to install windows, windows isn't able to see the drive. If I drop down into the command prompt I can see the drive and am able to format the volume on the nvme, however when I reboot windows again complains about not seeing an available drive and prompts me to rescan or install a new drive.

Any thoughts on why windows10 and windows 11 would not see the drive for installing windows, but when I shell into the command prompt then diskpart sees the disk and allows me to format it?

Question: Did you go into the Windows "disk management" application and initialize the drive?

I can't launch the windows disk tool as it is the installer itself that complains about the lack of a drive to install the OS onto. What I can do from the installer is provide additional drivers or cancel out of the installer and go to a command prompt. From the command prompt I can run diskpart and see the drive and format it, but after reboot the windows installer still doesn't see the formatted drive.
