Question Second M.2 drive only allows 1mb of space.

[JPWestmas]

Hi there! I Installed two identical kingston NV2 1 TB m.2 drives into an MPG B550I mini ATX motherboard. Drive 1 was fine and I could install windows 11 on it. The other one, Drive 0, would not accept windows during the installation phase on a new computer setup. Reason was that Drive 0 only had 1MB of space on it. Not sure why that is. I tried allocating more to it in the windows drive manager but there was no option to do so even after initializing the drive. It does not show up as a drive option in the explorer by default (that's normal before initialization I am told). Is there a tool I can use or is this usually an indication of a broken drive?

If it helps this is the information for the odd Kingston 1MB drive:
Device SCSI\Disk&Ven_NVMe&Prod_Merak_Nvme_Ssd_C\5&37e040a9&0&000000 was configured.

This is the info for the Drive that works fine (Notice the names are quite different):

Is it possible that the Merak_Nvme_Ssd is not the Kingston drive I installed. There are no other drives in the Bios.
