Help with my P6661

[soje]

Hello! I have an erazer P6661 MD99747 (MSN 30020121) laptop and I would like to install a 240gb m2 sata 2280, but when I connect it the laptop doesn't recognize it. Could it be a BIOS problem?

Hi @soje ,

is your SDD recognized by the BIOS? Can you see it listed on booting options?

Also, have you activated that on your disk manager?

Regards,

No, it does not appear in the BIOS. The slot seems empty. BIOS version is 2.12

Hi @soje ,

please try to updating your firmware using the device manager tool.

Hello! It appears that the latest version is already installed.

What happens if you take the HDD 1 TB out, and only leaves the M2 SATA SSD mounted.

Then check in Bios for the Disk, or in Advyanced, or in the boot page.

You also could try to find the SSD making use of the MediaCreationTool, which creates a Win 10 Iso bootable USB stick. If you boot the USB Stick you will see if it finds the SSD; in further  progress you will get a possibility for partitioning. Afer this you can cancel the installation,  reconnect the HHD , boot your usual Win Installation and check within  Disk Management if your SSD is recognized.

Thanks @daddle ,  I have followed all the steps, but the unit m2 still does not appear. Is it possible BIOS failure? What is outdated?

Can you please post a picture of your M2 SSD where we can read the label? That would bring some light on the matter.

Thanks

OK that's a SATA M2 . Are you sure you took the HDD out? Second you made a USB Stick with the MediaCreationTool, and tried to boot from it?

If the HDD is taken out, check in Bios on Page Advanced for SATA drives and configuration. Please post some photographies from the bios pages Advanced, and with submenus opened  regarding drives.
