Help. M.2 drive kinda not showing.

My PC is working fine. Just bought a new case, AIO. Updated the bios before transferring the components to a new case.

Cleaned all the components before transferring. Re-sited every thing, m.2 drive, ram, gpu, cpu, SSDs, HDDs.

After transferring all the components, my PC is working just fine.

Now I wanted to format my PC but the m.2 drive(where my OS is currently installed) is not showing as a location for windows installation.

So I installed a new OS on a different drive for now(So I have 2 OS now on different drives). Once I’m on the desktop I went to disk manager to try to format my M2 drive and it’s not showing on the list of available drives.

Here are some informations that may help:

  1. I have the latest sata driver from mobo’s website.
  2. While using the OS from that m.2 drive, I can see the drive from disk manager.
  3. Bitlocker is off as I checked.
  4. M.2 drive is showing in bios.
  5. On windows installation, Drives 0, 1, 2, 4, 5, are showing. It’s weird that “3” is not on the list.
  6. I tried removing all the other drives except for the m.2. Same result.

*Note
My PC is working fine. It’s just I want to re install a fresh OS on that m.2 drive
