Hello all,

just upgraded my boot drive to a samsung 970 evo, so I figured it would be a good time to do a fresh install of windows. After installing the drive and doing a fresh install of windows, I wasn't able to find any of my drives. After messing around a bit, I was able to locate my two hard drives, but my old ssd boot drive was still missing. This drive does not appear on the device manager, or the drive manager. This drive still has my old install of windows on it, and I was planning on wiping it in the drive manager and using it for some quick storage. I have checked the BIOS and it does not appear there either.
