It is frustrating most of the time since as a user my task is not only to fix the issue but to also figure out the possible reason for such an issue. One of the challenging errors is when the M.2 SSD fails to be recognized.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This error is quite common in NVMe SSDs but can also be seen in M.2 SATA drivers. It commonly happens when the drivers are detected by the BIOS but Windows cannot see it or sometimes BIOS fails to detect it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With PCs, configuration and compatibility issues often cause this kind of problem. Apart from that, there are other contributing factors like incompatible hardware, outdated drivers, or settings of BIOS are incorrect. In some rare cases, if the solid-state drive is faulty it can cause such problems.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To stop struggling with this issue you need to troubleshoot effectively. Look at various things like updated BIOS, and compatible hardware, and verify if the correct driver is the installer. Just a small adjustment in the BIOS setting can fix the issue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In short, we can understand that the invisibility of M.2 SSDs can cause this issue and we have to be mindful regarding configuration and compatibility details. Let\u2019s understand in depth about the issues and the feasible solutions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_diagnose_the_cause_of_the_M2_SSD_problem\"><\/span><b>How to diagnose the cause of the M.2 SSD problem\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you encounter this issue, the second thing will be to find the root cause of the issue. There are multiple fixes available for this issue but let&#8217;s focus on the cause here. Here are the probable reasons for M.2 SSD not showing up on Windows 11 PC.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>SATA protocol or Storage controller mode is wrong<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In these scenarios, you need to uninstall or update the IDE ATA controller drivers and motherboard storage controller.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Malware or virus in the SSD<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the PC is infected with malware and viruses it can show this problem.

So you need to format the existing drive to GAT32 or NTFS to avoid this issue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><b>Uninitialised new SSD<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your PC has a new SSD Drive that has not been partitioned yet then this problem will arise.
