Windows 10: WD_Black SN850 NVMe SSD no longer shows up in Windows 10

JordanReinhart · May 9, 2021

I have had the NVMe drive installed and partitioned and working fine for about a month now. I only had one game on it so I only use it for that. When I tried to boot the game it said there was an error locating the file. So when I looked in my "Devices and Drivers" under "This PC" the WD_Black SSD did not show up. It is no longer in the disk management either. When I go into BIOS I can see it there. I am at a loss. Please let me know anything I can try that might fix the issue.

First before doing anything, make sure you backup your data.

Now, if the PC has two slots as you indicate, put the other one in and clone the present drive to it. If you've already got both slots filled, remove the none OS drive one and replace it with the drive to be cloned.

Once you clone the drive, place it in the slot of the drive that was cloned. Then put the other data drive back that was removed. That's it.
