Windows 10: put a new internal drive in mini pc, but it is not showing up.

Second internal HDD not showing in Windows 10

I had to re-install Windows 10 on one of my PCs, but now the 2nd internal drive isn't showing in the drive list in "This PC", nor is Windows recognizing the drive in Device Manager or Disk Management...

BUT... it still shows in BIOS, and when I remove the drive and install it in a different Windows 10 PC, it shows up and works as expected.

Am I missing a setting or something in the new Windows install? I can't update the driver, because it isn't listed as a device that I can get a driver for...

 

Unable for format Mini PC - X5 with Windows

I recently purchased a X5 Mini PC from the following site and was trying to have a clean install of Windows 10 instead of the pre-install copy with android.

During the installation process, I was thrown with an error stating that "Setup was unable to create a new system partition: Fix for Windows".

1. I have tried to work on this for a couple of nights along with this
   guide to use diskpart to pre-format and prepare the disk. But
   it didn't work, the same error still occurred.
   
2. Others suggest that it could be an UEFI locked issue and I should disable the secure boot option. However, the APTIO Setup Utility does not provide me with any option. I tried adding administrator password in security, hoping that it would enable the option as other suggest, but it failed to work.
   

Does anyone have similar experience or is familiar with BIOS and UEFI to lend a hand? Much appreciated.
