I recently put together a machine with Samsung 970 EVO+ NVME. To install Ubuntu on it, I created a usb drive using another Ubuntu machine and following instructions at:

When I start the process, it doesn’t show me the screen where it says: “The computer currently has no operating system. Erase the disk and install”.

It takes me to the next step to select partitions and there the NVME doesn’t appear.

I even did gparted using the Ubuntu that comes up from the bootable drive and even that isn’t able to detect the NVME.

I am wondering if there are know issues with using this storage device.

Appreciate inputs from the community, thanks!

EDIT: My BIOS is able to detect the NVME hardware there as a 500 GB Samsung 970 EVO plus. I haven't updated the BIOS, but I am guessing BIOS is fine.

EDIT: I am using a X399 motherboard with AMD Threadripper 2920x.

I was able to solve this. I tried different things, but what worked for me was to physically remove the SSD and attach it to a different port. It seems to be that only one port on X399 motherboard supports Samsung 970 EVO+.

Thanks everyone for your help and support. Appreciate it.
