In my new build I have 2 kingston 240gb diskes ,win 10 and some small programs in C,a total of 80gb,I can see det disk in bios,but when I want to put games in it I am not given the chance to do so,as there is no disk E.
I also have a problem in bios to execute intel rapid storage,the computer goes back to bios and says I have to initialise the disk (E).I havent done this in the last 6 years and might have lost something along the way 71 years of age hopefully not alsheimers.
In the next month I will get a M2 disk and use that for win10 and some more small programs,the games and picture to be stored on the ssd disks

kaby-lake i7700 4.2ghz
asus rog swift gtx 1070

I tried to copy c to a smaller disk via usb,but not alowed,tried clone drive same result.any suggestions?Both disks wher formated before I put them in the computer.

Does it appear in Disk Management (Windows 10 right click on start icon, select disk management).

You likely just need to initialize &/or assign a drive letter (which can be done by right-clicking on the name of the drive) - assuming it appears in there.
Note: You may lose data with some of these functions, so hopefully it's a blank drive.

If it doesn't appear in there, check connections etc.
