Question Win 10 M.2 Drive and USB issue

[l4ndm1n3]

Ok sorry about at the boiling point with these issues on my desktop...

I just bought a new M.2 WD Blue drive from newegg and when I put in in either M.2 slot (it appears in the BIOS) the PC will tell me windows can't load... This has happened when I try alter any of the interal system components...

So to fix it of course I was just going to do a clean install of windows. Well come to find out my 32 gb USB drive somehow became corrupted.
I have been searching for a day and reading all types of stuff on how to fix this (it's the device descriptor request failed) error:

About to just throw this pos in the trash and go get another drive. I've tried another laptop usb drives and it doesn't work, and I have another USB that works fine. I have gone all the way to the regsitry to delete the keys, but some of them I can't even as administrator and trying to enable permissions (in the tutorial)... some keys still wont delete for Sandisk.

Not only these issues, but my pc sits on this ASUS screen with a spinning circle for about 5 minutes on a cold start... which I have nothing but SSDs installed... so... no reason for this sh!t.

PC:
Windows 10 Pro 1803
i5 7600 K
asus gtx 1070
asus z270 p mobo
corsair vengence 16 GB ddr4
thermaltake RGB 750 W
drives
samsung ssd 830
OCZ agility 3
wd blue 3d nand sata ssd m.2 2280

Right now windows 10 has issues doing installs with an usb drives plugged in. Keyboard and mouse are fine, i havent tried it with a usb dvd drive but pretty much anything else has to be unplugged to install windows.


I just put in a second M.2 drive on my asus board last night and it had issues since i had 2 drives plugged in that the ports got disabled. make sure nothing is plugged into sata port 1 that would cause conflicts with the M.2 drive.

My primary goal is to just have the M.2 drive as additional storage... why does installing this stop windows from loading?

 

[faalin]

what slot did you install it in? If its the top slot by the cpu make sure there isnt a sata drive plugged into port 1.


Since the WD M.2 is a SATA drive when plugged into the top M.2 slot it disables sata port 1. If you have a drive plugged in there windows will have an issue.

Finally got the M.2 drive working. Like yous said, you have to switch the SATA cables around god only knows why.

Anyone have any other ideas for the USB issue? I guess I shouldn't care as 32 gb USB things are like 5 dollars now... not worth the headache.
