NVME SSD not showing up in BIOS or in windows installation after secure erase from BIOS
I recently was having issues booting into windows from a corruption in windows boot manager. After giving up on saving the data, I decided to erase the drive to start from scratch. I wasn’t able to use the installation media to delete the drive, so I decided to try using the secure erase feature in my BIOS. Upon completion, I noticed that neither my BIOS nor my windows installation media are able to find my NVME SSD anymore.
I’ve tried the clear CMOS button, resetting BIOS settings, turning off secure boot, reinserting the SSD, and disconnecting the power. I don’t see any actual drivers for my ssd in the hp support page other than an updated firmware for it but it only comes as an exe file that I’m not able to initialize during the windows installation process.
My desktop is the HP Omen 45L and it uses an 8tb WD-black NVME SSD.
Are there any other settings or suggestions I can try?
