    My Centon 120 gb SSD shows up in BIOS and Win10 Device Manager, but does not show up in Disk Management to enable formatting. How can I format this SSD?

    My Centon 120 gb SSD shows up in BIOS and Win10 Device Manager, but does not show up in Disk Management to enable formatting. How can I format this SSD?

    I have a new Dell 8900 with updated drivers and software. I have not added as SSD before and I am afraid I am missing something obvious.

    The drive shows up in the BIOS in SATA 4 port. It also is in the Device Manager under the Disk Drives heading as SATA SSD. It does not show up in the listing of drives under Disk Management.

    I know it needs to be formatted, but it does not have a drive letter assigned and I do not see how to get it one.

    I did try Uninstalling the driver under the Device Manager, it just found the same info after scanning for new hardware.

    Thanks for your help...

    What is the best way to format an ssd drive?

    -> The same way as with any other disk: Through the Disk Manager (diskmgmt.msc).

    Apparently I'm not seeing any unallocated space on a drive or partition shown on your picture. Some small partitions haven't been assigned a drive letter and shouldn't be. But an empty drive not showing there could mean the BIOS doesn't see it [has to happen before Windows or any Operating System can see it], could be the drive or the drive controller on the motherboard is bad. When an OS can't see a drive I boot to a GPARTED LiveCD to see if the drive is functioning and if so can use it to partition and format it.

    Berton you can get GParted on a USB with Tuxboot. The bios is the first place to look. Cable second, along with power.

    Maybe I don't want it on a Thumb drive, some of the computers I have to deal with don't work well that way. I mention the LiveCD as nearly all computers with an ODD/ Optical Disk Drive can use it.

    Thumb drives are the alternative, since a lot of workplaces disable the DVD drive. I keep both types on hand, in case I run into a unit with a failing DVD drive or failing/locked down USB ports.

    If the Linux boot shows the drive or re-seating the drive doesn't help

    See if this helps

    Add a new User variable
    System > Environment variables
    devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices = 1

    Launch Device Manager
    View menu > Show hidden
    Expand Storage Volumes
    uninstall Unknown device if present
    Uninstall any Ghost entry (the icon is light grey)

    Restart your machine
