  • On some older motherboards, adding an M.2 drive would disable some of the SATA ports so try the data drive in the other SATA ports and see if it becomes visible.
    It might be that if you have literally just installed the new drive in the PC then the drivers will be for the other PC and that can cause a lot of issues. You need to install the correct drivers which you can find here. Better still, unplug the 2.5" data drive and perform a full, clean install of windows on the drive.

    Plugged the SATA dickhead into another port and we're back in business. Copying everything off the 1TB drive to an external drive now and then I guess I'll need to come up with a plan for the PC. Maybe I'll just keep the m.2 nvme from my partner's machine in there as a disposable boot drive and get a better data drive and then wait for the rest of it to die.
