Hey All,

I have a Samsung Evo 960 that i used as a boot drive, but after a BIOS update the drive is not recognized as a boot device when I power on the laptop and in windows Disk Management as well as in Diskpart or the Samsung Magician Software. It is recognized in the BIOS and show up in the boot menu as well. I haven't got an adapter for the SSD and have only the mother board to plug it in. It's the M.2 connection on the motherboard.

What i was suggesting was I plug the SSD into an adapter the Asus Hyper M.2 X4 PCI-E Mini and use the mentioned riser to act as a reader and use USB out from it to get the drive formatted. Like plunging it into a external enclosure. I looked on ebay and amazon but couldn't find an eclosure that'll support NVME protocol.

I'm desperate that is why i thought of using a riser to act as an enclosure to get the SSD formatted.

Acer VN7 592g 767q (Aspire V15 Nitro Black edition).
Intel i7 6700HQ
32GB Ram
Geforce GTX 960
the motherboard i think is an Insyde one not exactly sure of the model.

Thanks in Advance.

Is it recognized in the BIOS/Boot menu or not? Bit confused:
"drive is not recognized as a boot device"
"It is recognized in the BIOS and show up in the boot menu as well"

Which BIOS version is currently on it? Get into BIOS to be sure which version it is.
Latest version would be 1.12. Flash again, even if it is this one.


Flash a previous BIOS if possible.

In the BIOS it shows up in the boot menu. But went I boot it normally it doesn't get recognized, when I try to clean install it it doesn't show up in the drive menu to install Windows.

Boot priority set to this SSD in BIOS? (normally F5/F6 buttons to move the drive upwards)

I have tried both Legacy and UEFI boot modes tried booting and trying to clean install Win 10 on the drive. Should i try to install Win 7 or an older version and see if that will help.

By the way do u know anything that I can use as a enclosure for the SSD so I can connect it via USB and get it formatted at least. Thinking it might be something wrong with the file system of the drive it self not sure though

Yes secure boot is disabled and Windows boot manager is at the main priority. that's why I thought might be something wrong with the file systems on the drive.
