Does it match the number of installed storage devices? If so, that means this is an issue with the incorrect driver. This will open the Disk Management window. Count the number of listed Disks. If your drive fails to show up altogether, then our first step is to verify if it is even connected. In Windows search, type Disk Management and select the ‘Create and format hard disk partitions’ option. Here’s how you can fix common PCIe NVMe SSD boot and driver problems. For example, missing drivers, unresponsive/slow drives and/or drives that simply do not appear after being connected. These drives plug directly in to a motherboard and the speed is off the charts (as high up as read speeds of 3.5GB/s in some cases). However, with new technology comes new problems to troubleshoot. So we’ve turned to PCI Express based storage devices. Right now connecting SATA cable connecting drives to motherboards has became an issue. These drives take the mechanics out of the equation and as a result are exponentially faster. Traditional mechanical hard drives measure speed on RPM and cache storage, and now we have Solid State Drives. This pushed storage technology in a different direction namely speed. Society, it seems, has settled on a few TeraBytes of storage and are sticking to using more drives as/when needed. The drive is now formatted and ready for use.The struggle for astronomical storage spaces has slowed down. In the Format Partition screen, decide on a Volume label (the name you want to give the drive) and click Next.Leave the Specify Volume Size as the maximum (default value) and click Next.The New Simple Volume Wizard will open, click Next.Right-click in the area that says Unallocated and select New Simple Volume.MBR (Master Boot Record) is best for certain legacy software compatibility, but GPT is better for modern systems and higher capacity storage devices.

Select GUID partition table (GPT) and click OK.

When Disk Management opens, a pop-up will appear and prompt you to initialize the SSD.

In Windows 8 and later, move the mouse to the lower left corner of your desktop and right-click on the Start icon, then select Disk Management.

In Windows 7 and earlier, open Disk Management by right clicking on Computer and selecting Manage, then Disk Management.

Attach the SSD as a secondary drive and load Windows from your existing drive.

Note: if you simply need to format/reformat a drive, only steps 5-9 below will be needed, assuming your SSD has previously been initialized. A clean installation of your operating system or cloning to an SSD will initialize and partition the new SSD. If you are performing a clean installation of your operating system, or cloning to your SSD, it is not neccessary to follow these steps. Before you can use your new SSD you have to initialize and partition it.
