I recently bought a Samsung 980 1tb m.2 nvme ssd to install in my system (i5-4690k, Gigabyte z97x-GAMING 5 mobo).
I've disconnected all other SATA drives that were plugged in, but for some reason the M.2 drive is not listed as a bootable drive in the BIOS, even after clearing the CMOS.
I have a USB I'm using as a Windows 10 boot drive, and during the Windows installation I can install Windows to the SSD just fine and the drive is listed in diskpart. When I had my old HDD hooked up I could also see the M.2 drive in Windows Disk Manager (so I assume it must be properly seated)
I have tried following these instructions here, however my BIOS menu does not have all the same options listed in these steps so I have tried many permuations of different BIOS settings but to no avail: https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/cant-boot-from-m-2-nvme-ssd.3365143/
Any help is kindly appreciated.
