I just got an SSD and am trying to get it to work but for some reason I am not able to format it. When using the diskpart command and typing list disk this is what I see:

Only one disk, my current HDD. But when I go to system management and look at stations, my SSD shows up:

I've tried different cables (a white sata 6g cable and an orange awm cable) but they all have the same result: shown in BIOS but not able to format it in windows 10.

I also tried reinstalling the IDE/ATA/ATAPI controllers because someone said it might work, still nothing. Using a third party partition tool also only shows my 500gb HDD.

What can I do?
