Windows 10: SSD Not showing in Device Manager after OS Reinstall

I'm using a Dell Inspiron Desktop PC which I've had for 3 years. Suddenly got blue screen of death today, and had to reinstall windows.


THe only problem is, not only the HDD is showing up, the SSD doesn't show up anywhere.


The SSD does NOT show up in Device Manager under disks, only thing there is the HDD

It does NOT show up in Computer Management

It does NOT show up in diskpart > list disk


My DriverEasy is showing that I have Intel Chipset SATA Raid Controller installed, which seems like the device driver for the SSD but not 100% sure, couldn't find any info on this driver


In my BIOS, under system config > Drives, I do see a M.2 PCIE SSD-0, with type {None} and Device id {None}, SATA Operation is currently set to RAID On.


Does anyone know how to proceed from here? Most of the troubleshooting requires seeing it in the device manager, which I can't do because its not in the device manager.

USB microphone show up under "Other Devices" in the Device Manager

Hi Luke,

We suggest that you update the device driver. You can do that by following these steps:

• 
  Select the Start button, type Device Manager, and select
  it from the list of results.
  
• 
  Expand the category where your device is located, then right-click on the name of your device, and select Update Driver Software.
  
• 
  Select Search automatically for updated driver software.
  

If Windows doesn't find a new driver, you can try looking for one on the device manufacturer's website and follow their instructions.

If updating the device driver doesn't work, we suggest that you reinstall the driver:

• 
  Open Device Manager.
  
• 
  Right-click on the name of the device.
  
• 
  Select Uninstall.
  
• 
  Restart your PC and Windows will attempt to reinstall the driver.
  

Let us know how it goes.

Regards.

 

SSD showing up as HDD in device manager

Hi,

I just installed a Samsung SSD 2TB drive. I already have two 2TB and 1TB SSD drives and one old Western Digital 2TB disk drive insatlled. My new SSD drive is working properly. I was able to format it and move files to it, but it shows up as a Western
Digital hard drive in Device Manager. My new drive is listed properly in the BIOS as an SSD drive. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks.

external hard drive showing up in device management but not disk management

Hi,

I recently tried to use a brand new Seagate 2TB External HD, but it is not showing up. It initially showed up, but after I tried reformatting it to exFAT32, it disappeared from the disk management list.

I then tried:

• refreshing the disk management list,
• inserting into a different USB port,
• re-starting my computer, and
• uninstalling the device from device manager/letting it refresh,

I still can't see it. There is no yellow error in the USB controller list.

I'm on Windows 10.

Intel i5-3317U @ 1.7GHz

Any suggestions? Thanks!
