Hello guys,

I am building a new PC and have a problem with my ssd, hope someone can help me. I installed windows via usb stick on the ssd and after it finished it just restarted automatically and got stuck on the asrock loading screen. I restarted and in the boot menu my ssd didnt show up anymore. Then i booted again from the usb and tried to install again, but it always says 0MB space on my ssd. Its the same in diskpart, list disk showed the ssd and the usb, but the ssd had 0b and after i typed chkdsk /f /r it doesnt even show the ssd on list disk anymore. The ssd does not show up in the bios, but windows should be installed on it. I plugged the ssd on to my other pc, but the same problem there, neither the bios detects it nor the disk manager, there isnt even a symbol in the disk manager or in the explorer. In the hardware manager its listed under unknown devices...I want to format it, but I dont know how to access the ssd at this point. I tried to clean it with diskpart, but it didnt work. When i tried different ports it got detected a few times in the bios, but when I tried to boot from the ssd it couldnt be detected again... it all worked fine before I installed Windows. Is the ssd maybe defect? Really appreciate some help.

Motherboard: ASRock H110 Pro BTC+
CPU: Intel Pentium G4560 2x 3.50GHz
Ram: 120GB Intenso High Performance 2.5" (6.4cm) SATA 6Gb/s
GPU: Not installed yet
Ram: 8GB Crucial DIMM DDR4-2666 CL19

Thanks guys.
