I am hoping someone can help me out with this, I have a 256 gb m.2 drive, WD SSD, installed. The only time the motherboard, Asus Crosshair VI, recognizes the drive is when I interrupt the bios boot. I have tried the usb windows UEFI boot, with CMD disabled, any my two WD mechanical drives in SATA 3 and 4 ports, but Windows install does not see the drive.

Is it a bad drive, motherboard, am I not doing something right? Usually something like this I am overlooking something simple.

Thanks for any help in advance
