HP Recommended
Product: Slimline 290-p0056
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

CT1000MX500SSD4 - Crucial MX500 M.2 2280 1TB SATA III 3D NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) 

HP - Compaq HP Slimline 290-p0056

BIOS Revision 843F vF.31

BIOS Date 05/27/2019

 

The BIOS won't recognize this M.2 SSD drive. 

I've tried the following.

1. Removed it and put it back in securely - it's inserted correctly

2. Unhooked the existing SATA Hard Drive and DVD Drive - this M.2 SSD is the only SATA device hooked up in the system now.

 

The BIOS settings are very sparse and I can't find a way to get additional BIOS settings. The only BIOS option available to me that seems remotely relevant is Slot Security and all the M.2 slots are enabled.

 

I think I need to tweak some hidden BIOS settings to get this M.2 SSD drive recognized by the BIOS. How can I get access to more BIOS settings than what is available with F10?  There is barely anything available to me in the BIOS options.
