Windows 10: SSD shows up in BIOS and device manager, but not in diskpart or Disk manager

Its the title, the SSD is an NVME m.2 Kingston 1tb

Disk showing in Disk Management, But not DiskPart

Hello!

So, today I was doing a friend a favor, he had an old 1TB hard drive with important photos on it. He said he would appreciate it if I could move the photos to a different hard drive.

So, I hooked it up to my self-built PC (with a SATA port) and it didn't show up in file explorer.

So, I checked Disk Management to see if it would show up there, and it did. I later realized why it didn't show up in file explorer (Because it didn't have a drive letter). In Disk Management, I right clicked the primary partition only to find that it wouldn't
let me assign a drive letter.

I remembered there was another way to assign drive letters, with DiskPart. So I typed this into Command Prompt:

diskpart > list volume

In DiskPart, It showed the drive's EFI system partition (partition 1) but not the (Healthy) Primary Partition (partition 2).

Also in DiskPart, I could type "list disk" and it would show me the 1TB drive, if I then typed "list partition" it would show me the different partitions, but wouldn't let me assign a drive letter to them.

In summary, Disk Management showed the partition, but wouldn't assign a drive letter. DiskPart showed the partition 1, but not the primary partition.

My objective is to show the photos located on the 1TB drive's 2nd partition without erasing it.

I would be happy to add pictures if necessary.

Thanks!

 

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 Disk 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.

 

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...
