I just installed an m.2 drive into my new pc and I downloaded windows onto it and booted in and was all fine. Then once logged in I noticed only the m.2 was recognised and I found that strange so i checked disk management and the other hard drives still weren't there. Then I checked bios to see if they show up there still a no I checked command prompt and they weren't there either. I then took out my m.2 and tried to boot back in and it worked perfectly both my drives recognised. Both the m.2 and the hardrive work but they do not work together. I have checked several guides on YouTube and checked different forums but none have helped. It would be greatly If someone here coukd offer a solution. I'm running on Windows 10 and the mother board is the prime b350 plus
 
Solution


From the specs:
https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/PRIME-B350-PLUS/specifications/
4*The M.2 Socket shares bandwidth with the SATA6G_5/6 ports, therefore the SATA6G_5/6 ports cannot be used when a SATA/PCIE mode M.2 device is installed.
5*The M.2 Socket shares bandwidth with the SATA6G_5/6 ports, therefore the SATA6G_5/6 ports cannot be used when a SATA/PCIE mode M.2 device is installed.
----------------------------
Solution?
Move the HDDs to a different port on the motherboard.
