So, I decided to reinstall Windows 10 last night, and now I can't find my SSD. It was working perfectly fine before the reinstall, had games installed there and everything.
My BIOS detects it just fine, Intel Rapid Storage shows it, and so does device manager and it shows no faults. But it doesn't pop up under ''This PC'', so I can't access it, let alone the files on it.
When I try to manage it in the Disk Management, all the options are greyed out and I can't assign a drive letter, nor reformat it.
The SSD is a Kingston HyperX FURY 120GB.
The Windows 10 installation is, and always was on my HDD.

EDIT: Okay, so i got it working with diskpart.exe.
Ran diskpart, did the steps 3 to 7 from this.
Then I typed in the commands ''create partition primary'' and after that ''assign''.
After that Windows prompted me to format the disk, so I did and it is now working like it should.
 
Solution
Is that Disk 2 (storage pool) - your SSD?
How did you manage to do that?
It shows as empty, btw.

Open elevated command prompt and clean the drive by executing commands:

  • diskpart
    list disk
    select disk 2
    (double check that it's your SSD that has been selected, next command cleans all data from the drive)
    clean
    exit

Go to disk management.

What ever disk number from the drive display list is the SSD drive.

On the left most box right click, if the drive is currently set as offline.
Choose the set as online.

Restart the system.

The drive will appear in my computer, and the next time you enter disk management you will have the option to format the drive, or change the drive letter of the SSD drive Retsboon.

The option to format, or change the drive letter is greyed out when the drive is not set to online mode.
Preventing windows os from using it.

It is already online, but everything's still greyed out. I've restarted my system multiple times now.
