I figured to reach out here as the community seems to be smarter than I am. Essentially I'm running into an annoying problem with a new build I've just completed.
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z690I Aorus Ultra Lite Rev 1.0
BIOS Version: F2
Storage: 2 x Samsung 980 PRO 1TB PCIe NVMe Gen4 Internal Gaming SSD M.2 (MZ-V8P1T0B)
This is regarding my storage, both drives have been installed through the two m2 slots on the motherboard and are both brand new.
So initially when launching the computer and going into the bios, I can see both storage drives I have. During Windows 11 Installation I can also see both storage drives (represented as Drive 0 and Drive 1). After formatting and installing windows 11, both drives are still visible. However this is where the first weird thing happens. Drive 1 is recognized as an external drive that can be ejected through windows. The drive is visible in disk management and device manager and I can format it etc, the only problem is that its recognized as an external drive that can be ejected by the user.
So now I begin to install drivers that are listed for the motherboard through the Gigabyte site (https://www.gigabyte.com/us/Motherb...LITE-rev-10/support#support-dl-driver-chipset). As I disabled the automatic download of Gigabyte App Centre due to its many problems documented and discussed online.
When I install the Driver for Chipset, Intel INF installation version [10.1.18836.8283], Drive 1 instantly disappears from both disk management and device manager, even though it was formatted and in use. I try to see if the drive is visible through cmd using diskpart and list disk but it is also no longer visible. Only Drive 0 remains. When I return to the bios both drives are still visible. Installing the rest of the drivers keeps the same output. I feel that there is something wrong with the current revision of the driver and I'm not sure if there is something wrong with the setup I've done or if its bug in the driver, or hardware problem.
Please, any help would be greatly appreciated. I've gone through several clean installs of windows and rebuilds of the computer to make sure nothing else is wrong. The only consistent thing is this driver which makes me confident the issue is software related and not hardware. And currently this makes the second m2 slot unusable for me.
Has anyone else run into this issue?
Update 1:
I updated my bios to F2 from F1 and it intially reappeared. However after a short while whithout doing anything in particular the drive disappeared. It seems when I shut down and turn on the computer the drive will initially be there, then after a minute or so it disappears again. In device manager the drive will appear in the storage controller section, but nowhere else, e.g. disk drives like my other working ssd.
