SSD Not showing up in bios but is visible inside windows
Hi there.
I have an Asus R416S laptop on which there is zero information on the internet.
It was working super slow, so I decided to format the SSD (https://www.partitionwizard.com/partitio...) and have a clean Windows 10 installation.
After formatting the SSD, wh.en selecting the hard drive, windows shows an error: (https://www.partitionwizard.com/partitio...)
Alright. I go into BIOS but under BOOT, the SSD doesn't show up. I can only see my bootable Windows USB which is set to Boot Priority #1.
If the SSD is disabled, I can't enable the drive because the bios is SO bare bones that I can't Change SATA Controller Mode as there is no option like that in the BIOS. Resetting the BIOS to default of optimised settings also didn't make the SSD appear.
I created a portable windows installation on an USB and booting windows through the USB, I can see the SSD in Windows. I can copy to it and open whatever I have copied on it.
I thought it might be a firmware problem.. Downloaded new and old SanDisk SSD tools and the SSD Dashboard but those didn't recognize the SSD.
At this point I am stumped. Does anyone have any ideas what could I do?

Hi @tomekks ,
Are you sure that it mightn't be this one? It might be worth a look at the specs to see if they are similar to the specs in yours.
Select the OS to find firmware download etc

You are correct, that is the one.
This is the SSD that's attached to the MB: https://eu.mouser.com/ProductDetail/SanD...
The only possible solutions I see now, is to get a special USB from Asus as the BIOS can't be updated. I am really stumped.. :/

Here are photos of BIOS to get a better understanding: https://photos.app.goo.gl/sRwWn9qy3oHW9A...
