  1. My 2TB hardrive is powered, but is not being detected in either device manager or BIOS.


    I've switched the SATA cords and the plug in spots, tried unplugging then replunging it while the pc was on and off, and looking for any device under other devices. None has worked. Here's the part list for the pc, https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mJ8nKqPls help

  3. Device Manager Un-Hiding Hidden Devices

    When you connect a plug and play device, Windows Plug and Play manager detects it, finds and installs the driver. Device Manager lists the device with a solid icon.

    The driver is only removed when you uninstall the device, not simply by disconnecting the device. When the device is disconnected, its driver is still installed. By default, Device Manager only displays connected devices. When you show hidden devices, note the Bluetooth icon you see is semi-transparent (not opaque). That indicates a "non-present" device. Sometimes also called a "ghost" device. The driver is still installed but the device is not currently detected (i.e. not connected).

    Device can be disconnected when
    • Device unplugged (e.g. removing a USB device)
    • Turning a device OFF
    • Disabling the device in BIOS (then windows won't detect it) or
    • Device failure

    So
    • Check BIOS as suggested
    • Check board connections
    • Can b/t be turned off by a switch? or keyboard combination?
    Also possible the b/t h/w failed

  4. My 2TB hardrive is powered, but is not being detected in either device manager or BIOS.

    TPM enabled in BIOS but no device detected

    I have enabled TPM in the BIOS but it does not detect a device. Not in the BIOS or in the device manager.

    I have no security devices and it is also not listed in the system devices.

    I checked my hardware and it should be capable of tpm 2.0

    Motherboard: MSI MPG 570 Gaming Plus

    CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X

    I read a lot of articles about this, but in every case, the computer at least detected something to be then able to re-install a driver or something.
