Hello,

I just noticed that my second Nvme does not appear anymore in windows but i can see it in my bios.

Configuration : Asus Z790-P(BIOS 0812), Samsung 970 Evo plus 2To (Primary drive; OS installed (M2_3)), Kingston NV2 2To (the drive that cause me trouble(M2-1))

So, i checked : device manager, storage manager, diskpart, but nothing.

Screenshots (including diskpart, list disk)

I tried to find a driver for the M2 drive but i did not find any. i did a factory reset of the bios aswell.

I unplugged my sata drive, nothing as changed.

I booted Linux Mint Matte and executed Gparted to create a new partition on the Kingston drive but it does not seem to have worked.

At this point, i don't know what to do anymore,

Sorry for my english, it's not my first language.

I tried to reseat it : no help.
I just swapped both drives, now it gives me a bsod (Inaccessible Boot Drive) is it normal ?

I will remove my GPU to try the last slot now.

Edit:

Ok so, it worked on the last slot, the drive was instantly detected by windows.

But does that mean that the primary slot of the mobo (M2_1) is damaged or something?

Thanks.
