Windows 8 doesn`t see the HDD

[pitnyasha]

I bought a laptop ASUS and tried to install Windows. UEFI shows the HDD only when Security Mode disabled. But Windows doesn`t see it at all. I tried to use diskpart list disk, but it is only USB there.
HDD is formatted in MBR now.
Please, help! Can I somehow convert it from MBR to GPT?

If you want to wipe the disk clean of everything, here are the commands.

DISKPART

list disk

select disk (Disk #) (where # is the number)

clean

I use the diskpart list disk, but it shows me only USB, no HDD, so I can`t get the disk number

Have you attempted to install Windows 10 on it? Doesn't mean you have to use it, given you want to use Windows 8. But, just to be sure you're not looking at either a bug in Win 8 OS or the BIOS.

If you can install a trial version of Windows 10, perhaps that's enough to be able to download and update the BIOS revision if available. Then, go back and try again with Windows 8.

By the way, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 support booting from a NVMe drive. If you're attempting to boot from Windows 8 media (not 8.1), it might not have the driver necessary to enumerate the SSD.
