I am having trouble with my SSD showing in windows. It always shows in the BIOS but wont appear in disk mgmt after booting into windows. Sometimes it will pop up when I hot plug it. Then if I restart or shut down, sometimes it will stay, but most of the time it disappears again. I honestly can't figure out a rhyme or reason.
Things I have tried:
Using a different SATA cable
Using 4 Different SATA ports
Uninstalling the Standard SATA AHCI Controller device in device manager.
Manually updating the driver using "let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer" to Standard SATA AHCI Controller. (This one causes the Drive to appear)
Checking drive firmware and SMART with Samsung Magician
Reformatting the drive using elevated command prompt
Disabled fast start in BIOS
Restarted Plug & Play service
These are my system specs http://speccy.piriform.com/results/Ic0eNAQAUZTd2Onw7jsKl23
