    dad trying to build a computer with his son...and having SSD problems


    Hi,

    I am trying to help my son build a computer, and we are running into the following issue...

    Build is completed (I think), and when booting with the Windows 10 Boot USB attached, I get to the screen where it wants to know what disk I am going to install Windows on...but no disks appear as available.

    I went into the BIOS to find options, and the disk does not appear there either.

    Lastly, I tried the Diskpart route, and the disk also does not appear there.

    I am using the Asrock B550 Phantom Gaming 4/ac, and the SSD us a WD Blue M.2 2280. I have place the SSD in the Hyper M.2 port.

    I have inspected the SSD and M.2 slot, all seems ok there.

    After reading online documentation regarding this specific SSD, WD states that their internal SSD cards do not come partitioned, so I am wondering if this is causing my disk to not appear anywhere. If so, I can't figure out how to partition.

    Any help is appreciated...this project that we undertook is proving to be troublesome...I feel we are close, but might have missed something in the process.

    :)

    Does this computer build have compatibility problems? Opinions welcomed!

    Lets start with what you're going to use this computer for, not what you want to put in it.

    Rules/steps to building a computer (in chronological order):
    First rule: Determine what your needs are.
    Second rule: Define your budget.
    Third rule: Pick parts.
    Fourth rule: Review parts several times.
    Fifth rule: Buy said parts.
    Sixth rule: Build it.

    You are on rule/step 1. Go through the list until you're done.

    is it possible to hand build a motherboard?

    Might I suggest you simply build a computer, making notes and taking pictures step by step. Most people (probably including your teacher) have no idea even where to start building a computer. You'll do fine, and if you get stuck we're here to help ya out! *Toast :toast:
