That looks very wrong.

What motherboard do you have?

Have you ran a health check on the drive itself? the PM961 is an OEM variant though, so not sure if Samsung Magician can be used with it to check...

Did you install an OS on there? If so, clone? Or reinstall?

The Samsung Magician says it's unsuported, so I don't know what's up with that, I have an image here: View: https://imgur.com/gd7kHLb


And yes my friend had his OS on it, so I formatted it, and undid a partition, maybe there is something else that I also should do?

Edit: and my motherboad is a Gigabyte Z170X-Gaming 7

Is the SATA Mode Selection @AHCI ?

What does the description in " NVMe Configuration" say about the M.2 NVME PCIe SSD if installed (pg.62) ?
Ehm is that the setting in BIOS? I remember something about ACHI from installing my SSD, should I change it to ACHI for the m.2 ssd if it isn't already?

What description are you talking about?
