Hi

I just built my first PC and i have a slight problem. My hard drive is not working properly according to windows. In the bios it is disabled and i don't know how to enable it. My motherboard is an MSI b450 gaming plus max and it is connected to the hard drive with SATA. Bios can see it but it's disabled.

I downloaded the drivers from https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B450-GAMING-PLUS-MAX#down-bios. But for the sata drivers there is no application like the others to install the drivers, how do i install them ? I think this is the issue but could be wrong.

Windows device manager says i have the up to date drivers but in disk manager the hard drive is not there.

I appreciate any help.
