Hi there.I have an Asus R416S laptop on which there is zero information on the internet.It was working super slow, so I decided to format the SSD and have a clean Windows 10 installation.After formatting the SSD, wh.en selecting the hard drive, windows shows an error: Alright. I go into BIOS but under BOOT, the SSD doesn't show up. I can only see my bootable Windows USB which is set to Boot Priority #1.If the SSD is disabled, I can't enable the drive because the bios is SO bare bones that I can't Change SATA Controller Mode as there is no option like that in the BIOS. Resetting the BIOS to default of optimised settings also didn't make the SSD appear.I created a portable windows installation on an USB and booting windows through the USB, I can see the SSD in Windows. I can copy to it and open whatever I have copied on it.I thought it might be a firmware problem. Downloaded new and old SanDisk SSD tools and the SSD Dashboard but those didn't recognize the SSD.At this point I am stumped.

Does anyone have any ideas what could I do? Hi,Just wondering if you can use a Win 10 USB recovery disc to boot the laptop and then when in the Windows Recovery Environment menu area select Troubleshoot Advanced UEFI Firmware settings and see if it gives you any options at all.If you haven't already got one, you can create a Win 10 USB recovery drive from any known working Win 10 computer. All you need is an 8GB USB flashdrive and about 40-60 minutes of time. Go to Control Panel Recovery in the 'host' computer and find the link to create the recovery drive.If you can alter more settings this way here is a to the drivers and firmware etc for the laptop. Just select Win 10 as the OS. Hi,Haven't got my Win 10 computer at the moment to verify but it may be on the WIn 10 USB recovery disc and not the installation disc.Looking at your BIOS pictures and comparing it to the User guide, the BIOS may have been updated to the latest as the year 2016 is certainly a match to the date in the driver download page.Yours show American Megatrends 2016 Ver.

SanDisk ® Global Customer Care. SOLUTION - Drive is not detected by the BIOS: There are few reasons for not detecting a drive in the BIOS: 1. The SATA port is NOT enabled 2. A problem in cables or in connections 3. Faulty drive SOLUTION - Enabling the SATA port: If your drive is NOT detected it may be because it is turned OFF in System. Aug 24, 2018  SSD not detected in BIOS? Try this one weird trick! Yes, really, that’s an Ebay gift card taped to the top of that SSD, and it fixed my BIOS detection issue in a Dell Latitude E6420 laptop. I ran into this problem on a Dell Latitude laptop I was fixing up for my son. I picked up a cheap $22 120 GB SSD from Micro Center.

2.17.1249 and the user guide is 2012 Ver. 2.15.1226.Looking at your pics I didn't notice the easy Flash option to see if you could try and update it again and see if this restores the full BIOS.Wondering if the recovery partition is still there.Can you try the 'Reset the PC' option from the recovery menus as this should re-install Windows, or has it been wiped? It may do it from a recovery USB. I have never used this option to recover my PC as I didn't want to reinstall and lose my data even though I had it backed up. The repair options always worked.by.

Windows 8.1 ProMB = Biostar TA970SSD drive trying to install Windows on = SanDiskUltra II 480GBHey, everyone. I am trying to upgrade my Custom System to make the SSD I just bought a the Boot drive using the same installation media for my legit activated copy of Windows I am using my HDD right now. I built this machine and installed Windows on it about 10 months ago. I can get the installation going on either USB flash drive or disk, but every time it tells me it needs to reboot to continue and it does not boot, It just restarts says to insert a bootable device every time. I have been researching this topic and trying to make it work for the last 3 days and I am at my whits end.

Thanks for the replies but I think I am about to give up and try to return the SDD to Best Buy and maybe exchange it for another one. It simply won't boot after a couple of more installation attempts. It says to insert a 'proper bootable device' and restart every time. It won't resume installing Windows.

I tried resetting my Motherboard settings to default. And I did what JohnC21 suggested and just cleaned and converted it to GPT and let Windows create the partitions by pressing new, and started installing but on reboot, not bootable. I really don't know much about all this stuff. All I have learned from was researching online from being determined to get this to work. Maybe I ignorantly deleted some important files from the manufacturer that allowed the thing to boot? Maybe I need to install and ACHI driver during installation?

Maybe I should try clearing my CMOS before installing because I have a previous installation with a MBR HDD? I could try all that, but it could just be beating my head against the wall.

My instinct says it's not suppose to be this difficult. Is there anything I should try before I follow my instinct and just try to get an exchange from the vendor and try again? Or should I just do that?Edited by ccg1117777, 18 November 2015 - 01:15 PM. I've tried different SATA ports, different. The drive works perfect in every way other than it won't boot.

I can't really enable any SATA ports in UEFI. There is not option for that.

UEFI is integrated into the Bios I think so all ports should already be UEFI enabled. When I load the install disk or drive, 2 versions show up. UEFI version, and a P0 version.

So I always pick the UEFI. The manual calls it UEFI Bios, and under compliancy it says AMI UEFI x64 2.1. Under chipset settings, it just has the options of, Native IDE, RAID, AHCI, and Legacy IDE. How to have whats app without a phone. I always choose ACHI. And then it has an option for combined IDE and is enabled by default and it have tried installing with that both enabled and disabled. Now under 'Boot' tab besides boot priorities there are some things I don't know what they are:GateA20 Active = Upon RequestOption Rom Messages = Force BiosInterrupt 19 Capture = disabledOf course I didn't mess with any of that stuff because I didn't know what it is.

So, yeah I think I am going to try to exchange it, and if I can't get it working on the next SSD, I may just return it and not bother. I don't need an SSD. I bought it because I was bored and want to improve my rig a bit. That's the only reason. It's getting to the point where it's not really worth it. I am beginning to think the same thing that it is the install disk, but you see the thing is that this IS what I have been using all along.

When I built this computer, I used my older computer do a media creation for Windows 8.1 that does not have an UEFI Bios. Then I purchased the key separately. I said in my first post that I used the same media, well that is not quite true. I just thought it was the same because it was made the same way. I could not find the old disk I burned so I made an new one and a USB as well. Well I today I found the old disk behind my motherboard software disk in the motherboard box. I tried installing with it, it does not have a UEFI option to load, and the reason I am thinking it doesn't is because it was made from the Windows files on my old computer which was not UEFI so no EFI files were made.

If that is right I am thinking that probably the disk I made on THIS computer doesn't include any AHCI files because it was not in AHCI mode when I made the disk. So that is the theory on why and how I need to install an AHCI driver. So is that wrong?. I have not seen the UEFI/P0 option before. If the computer is UEFI and you initialize the disk GPT then Windows 8.1 will automatically detect GPT and format it as such.

I would download the iso using the link I provided and use Rufus to create a bootable USB flash drive. When using Rufus select GPT as the partition scheme in the dropdown box. Rufus will boot UEFI.Before the install I would open a command prompt by press Shift + F10 at the first install screen. This will give you a command prompt. Then do the diskpart command up to convert GPT and stop. Then exit the command prompt and start the install.

Then do the diskpart command up to convert GPT and stop. Then exit the command prompt and start the install.I have that ISO, I've tried it on a disk. My USB and disks have no problem booting. It's just the SSD. So I don't see the point of putting an ISO on a USB that I already have tried on disk. I just tried using the disk again. Same problem.

Here is my next question. When use an install disk or USB install drive, I get two options for the same device in boot options and boot priority. In other words I get UEFI Kingston USB Flash Drive as an option and also just Kingston USB Flash Drive. If It is a DVD I get UEFI DVD player or just DVD Player. For my SanDisk SSD I just get SanDisk SSD. Shouldn't I also be getting an UEFI SanDisk SSD option? Is there something I need to do the SSD to get that happen?Edited by ccg1117777, 18 November 2015 - 06:42 PM.

I am not sure about an UEFI option on the SSD. Are you saying when you initially boot the computer it give you the option to boot from the SSD drive? I am not that familiar with UEFI but I believe you can add and remove boot devices in the UEFI settings.

You can also change the boot order. I believe it would be something call Boot Manager. I am going to take a look at the Motherboard Manual.There should be an option in UEFI to enable Legacy or CSM boot. If you enable that and you can install the OS to the SSD then it's possibly a motherboard issue.

But, Legacy or CSM boot needs to have the SSD as MBR and not GPT.It's possible the SSD drive is advanced format. If that is the case then the EFI partition needs to be at least 260MB.Edit: Okay, I looked through the UEFI manual and I understand what you mean by UEFI Kingston. I believe you should see a setting of UEFI/your SSD name. I am not sure why it is not showing up though. If you changed UEFI to Legacy Rom as shown on page 4 you may be able to load the OS but you would not have UEFI.Edit Edit: What I don't understand is when you reboot during the install it does not reboot but if your USB key or DVD booted for the install, it should boot again but for some reason does not.Edited by JohnC21, 18 November 2015 - 07:59 PM.
