Hey there anons. I'm trying to install a 960 EVO M.2 Drive into my Asus H97i-plus motherboard, to replace my shit kingston drive, and for some reason I just cannot get Windows to detect it. The BIOS detects it in the boot order (although it does not list it under the M.2 slot, just in the boot order) and if I open the NVME settings I can see the drive. Using the EZFlash Utility, I can see the drive and the partitions from a previous (failed) windows install. For some reason, after failing to install windows due to a problem with the installation media, the drive is now COMPLETELY invisible to windows. Diskpart can't see it, and neither can anything else.
The fuck do I do?
install gentoo

Tried that, drive not visible to linux either.

Slipstream the drivers into your install media or keep them on a separate USB jump thumb and load them when the installer asks you to choose a disk

The drivers are an exe, and when included on the disk it claims that there are no valid signed drivers. It seems like win10 should theoretically correctly ID it with no issue, but it simply isn't.

Where do people get these images?

My Samsung m.2 had no problem installing windows 10 on a low cost asrock board.
Only thing I can say is eliminate the variables. Unplug as much as you can, remove your installation usb.

Honey, the M.2 drive doesn't detect anything.

I meant it wasn't being detected

yep
Turns out that the drive was just fucked, I got a new one and it worked flawlessly right away. Thanks for trying to help, anons.
