Hp TG01 - 1160 Disk selection not showing in BIOS

[ChazAtl1976]

I bought this HP TG01-1160

It only had an M.2 drive of 500gigs.

I went out and got an internal SSD drive and installed it.

Problem is the bios is not showing me nor enabling the drive. 

However if I go into the HP diagnostic tool the drive shows up so it is working.

But when I go into BIOS there is no section to change or enable the drive selection. Unless I am looking in the wrong place or this is not the proper place to check it. I need this so I can enable my new drive, format it, and use it.

Do I need to update my BIOS? Is there a way to enable this in some other way? I am confused and frustrated at the moment.

Problem solved. I had to format the drive before windows would recognize it. Doesn't explain why the BIOS doesn't have the disk mgt in it though.

How did you format the drive.  I'm unable to partition it?

hi

simple, you can follow this:

if not possible to partition it, it may be that you already have the system installed, and not a blank disk
please provide more information!
