I have an msi ge72 6qd apache pro laptop and a samsung sata ssd that I installed linux mint on it and a bpx nvme ssd (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M4OO1FT/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) that has windows 10 on it. After getting Linux mint to boot in legacy (it wouldnt boot in uefi + csm) my nvme isn't recognized any more. After resetting the bios, downgrading the firmware even, upgraded it back (E1795IMS.119 now) the nvme still isn't recognized. I've tried rebooting the pc a bunch of times in uefi mode (one thread said this worked) and still nothing. My pcie ssd storage shows empty in bios. As the title says it's not recognized anywhere. Please help!!
