[SOLVED] New SSD showing in BIOS AND Device manager but not in disk manager

[justindh-1]

Hi guys,
I bought a new internal samsung EVO 860 GB 500 SSD, Yet after i plugged it in it wouldnt show in disk manager.
I currently have another samsung ssd and a HDD
It is correctly plugged in, and does show up in device manager and in the BIOS.
But yet i can locate it in disk manager.
I read other forums, they said use other software. In Samsung magician and Minitool partition wizard it doesnt show either.

The SSD should work since it does show as an available SSD, but i just cant add it as a volume in drive manager.
I really hope someone could help me with this one

when clicking the 'create new storage space' it shows me the following.

You have to remove the drive from windows storage spaces.
Then it will appear in Disk Management.

Hi guys, thanks for the help!
the solution was indeed the storage spaces pool.
For some reason it created a storage pool with another drive, because of this it wouldnt show up in Disk manager.
I deleted the storage pool and then it showed up again.
now i can make a new volume with this disk,
Again thankss!

And choose correct solution.
Flamebrander was messing around with you.

I've read through all of these posts and it seems that this will be the solution for me, however, my storage spaces tab will not let me delete the pool

Never mind, I just had to reboot my computer

Open your search bar in windows, and enter /cmd.

Enter "diskpart", and click enter

Enter "list disk" and click enter

It should list all connected and supported drives. If your drive isn't there, then you most likely have something disabled in BIOS. If it is there, then you have a driver issue. We can troubleshoot further from here.

Sorry for reviving this but similar issue, but I did list disk and I think I see it there.
It is also in device manager, and somewhere in BIOS (not sure if it lets me set it as a boot, I forgot), but it's not in Disk Manager
