HP Probook 6560b, SSD not recognized, Bios flashing not possible, no OS, old hdd crashed

[DetlefD]

My HDD was crashed so I bought a Samsung SSD 860 EVO. Installed in my laptop and then started the pc with a boot recovery USB.  The whole process started, as the system asked where to put the OS it shows unallocated 0 MB.   Did the system check via bios --> failed as no hard drive found.  I allocated the ssd .. I read about 4 hours in this forum but could not find any solution. Tried to flash the bios but it says no bootable usb. I have no idea how to get further now. I know that there are a lot of problems with the Samsung SSD.  My last Bios update is 2011.

So: No hard drive (no cloning possible), no OS, bootable CD but no recognizable SSD resp unallocated although allocated via my other windows pc.

Downloaded the latest bios update sp5209.exe but executed it , the bios update utility to do a recovery USB is not coming up.It installs the file direct the USB..That does not work if I restart the pc 

Any Ideas?

Did it several times to go for sure. I guess, as seen on the pic, that the initializing is ok.

I inserted the SSD in the Laptop again and started the laptop with a window 10 recovery USB. It guided me through until it asked where to install the windows..It says Drive 0 unallocated space
