    2,5" SSD vanished after installation of W10


    I have, with problems managed to install W10 on a NVMe disk, but my 2,5" SSD are nowhere to be seen. they are GPT disks and so I assume the NVMe also are (GPT are greyed out in diskmanager.
    So what can I do to get acess ?

    Win10 clean install on Samsung SSD 850 EVO

    BLUF: SSD is not listed ubder "Where do you want to install Windows?"

    Steps Complete:

    1. I've create a Win10 bootable install usb.

    2. I connect the new Samsung SSD 850 EVO via SATA.

    3. I reboot PC and verify SSD is seen by the motherboard/BIOS

    4. Begin Win10 install via usb.

    5. Get to "Where do you want to install Windows?" and the SSD is not listed

    Problems:

    1. Samsung does not offer a driver for the 850 on their website

    2. Cannot locate driver elsewhere

    Unsuccessful Mitigations Steps Attempt:

    A. Format & partition SSD via Windows Disk Management, then retried steps 1-5 above....same result

    B. Clone existing HHD onto SSD via "Image for Windows" by TeraByte, then verified SSD contents via Windows Explorer....similar result

    Can you please offer some advice on locating a driver for a Samsung SSD 850 EVO 1TB drive? Or an alternative method?

    Thank you

    clean install W10 on SSD designated drive B

    Ha! Thanks for the reply bulldog. I'm actually an old-old timer. Started out on a Sequent? over 30 years ago using SuperCalc for an undergrad business course. I've learned a ton and built many PCs but still feel clueless given the rate of change. I
    just thought that perhaps those anachronistic drive letter assignments had gone by the wayside. Guess not.

    I finally figured out the process for me was:

    1)disconnect the old boot SSD with W7 from the SATA cable,

    2)hook up the new blank SSD to same,

    3)then put the W10 install flash drive in the USB port,

    4)then go into the BIOS setup to enable boot from USB port

    5)finally install W10 from the W10 install flash drive (vaguely called installation media) to new SSD

    Now I'll need to figure out dual boot of W10 or W7.

  4. 2,5" SSD vanished after installation of W10

    Sensors dont work after W10 update

    Toshiba WTA-8 tablet. After the latest W10 update (installed 5/5/2018) my sensors (compass, auto-rotate etc.) have stopped working and the device has vanished on Device Manager. Location works OK. Any suggestions?
