The disk was bought in order to use it as system disk. During installation of Windows 11 it did NOT start the computer at all. Checked the BIOS and noticed that the disk is listed in Storage Configuration, but NOT listed in Boot priorities. Used a 970 SSD as system disk and booted with no problems. I saw that the 990 Pro has been initiated and given a drive letter. But it was identified as Local Disk, NOT by its name. I used two different motherboards to verify the problem. Also it does NOT appear either in Samsung Magician or Data Migration software. I need the 990 as a system disk. Is there anything I can do to solve the situation?
Having the same issue. MB is Gigabyte Aorus Elite DDR4 AX. System can see it's connected to M2A_CPU slot, but is not recognised as a bootable drive and Windows installation will not see it to install Windows!?
Exactly the same issue.Mind you, I tried two different motherboards with same problem each time.Bearing in mind that this is a new model SSD, someone with Samsung must look into the subject and provide us with detailed instructions how to resolve it!
OK... Got it working! Needed to disconnect all my other data drives (possibly could have skipped this step) & disabled the RAID/VMD controller. When I booted back into BIOS it appeared under the NVME section. Was then able to load Windows onto it.
I'll get back to you whether it all still works when I reactivate the RAID controller as I have a few RAID arrays set up.
I will try to remove my current system disk (a 970) and leave only the 990 Pro and try a clean installation of windows 11. If unsuccessful, I hope system goes back to being like now (I am sick and tired of continuous setups). Keep my fingers crossed...
Ok. I did as stated above. Removed 970 left only 990. I was able to upload Windows 11 but computer wouldn't boot and went back to original page of the setup. Checked Bios settings again, the 990 is nowhere to be seen in Boot Priorities. I gave up and reinstalled 970 as system disk.
I do not understand what's going on here... Feels like betting my money on a crippled horse!
