go to storage spaces and see if your drive is there.
is the drive is in storage spaces, it won't show up in disk management

i think i just fixed it !
in device manager i deleted something called samsung nvme driver and it installed old driver now its detected in device manager so i went to disk manger and it shows there after i initialised it! working on it now hopefully it works
