[SOLVED] my SSD shows in the bios but not seen my windows or command prompt.

[ldotchopz]

My SSD shows in the bios boot menu, but when i go to install windows it doesn't show up to install on. the ssd is empty so i can't boot into windows and do anything. i can however get into the command prompt through the wnidows iso. but even then the ssd doesn't show the volume in the command prompt.

Any ideas?

So the 2TB WD Black NVMe is the only drive?

What was the last thing you did before this happened?
Did it have an OS originally?

Yeah it had windows 11 which I hated went to reinstall windows 10. Long story short I cleaned it using command prompt because I’m an idiot. And now it doesn’t seem to be seen by anything but the bios boot menu. Try to boot to it and it’s just a blue screen,

And your Win 10 install USB came from where?

Had it for a long time, came from a previous build. You think it’s outdated?
