    Why won't the Windows 11 installation or CMD find my SSD, but the BIOS can?


    So I'm currently trying to work on reinstalling Windows 11 to a friends laptop, cause he went to play some modded Cyberpunk on it, and something caused it to wipe the whole SSD. When I try booting up the laptop, it says there's no media, but when I go into the BIOS, the SSD shows up there. I downloaded the Windows 11 installer off the website, and put it onto a 8GB USB. When I plug the USB into the laptop and booted it, it starts up the installation, but the USB is the only thing that shows up. I've even tried using the CMD to look for it, but it only shows the USB, and when I try searching fo

    Why won't the Windows 11 installation or CMD find my SSD, but the BIOS can?

    SSD doesn't show up during windows install but is in the bios

    Hello All,

    I have a Precision T3600 that the HD went bad in.

    I purchased a ssd to replace it and installed it.

    The bios sees the ssd but during the attempts to install windows 7, and 10 on the system when the windows installation gets to selecting the drive to install windows on the drive does not display. I tried the suggestion
    to open a cmd prompt and use diskpart to create a partition on the ssd but the ssd doesn't show up in diskpart either. I have a duplicate working T3600 with win 7 on it. I used Macrium reflect and cloned the working T3600 to the new ssd installed it to the
    system and I get a no boot device. I even tried with a standard HD but still no luck no boot device.

    The settings are bios A12, SATA/RAID enabled, ACHI enabled, UEFI.

    I posted this to a Dell forum but decided to take a shot on the Windows forum as well because it seems to be a windows issue because the dell sees the drive is bios.

    Any ideas how to get windows to see the ssd are appropriated.

    Thanks.
