Which disk is "Disk 0" shown in your picture?

If this disk is not your M2 devcie: Was the M2 device connected when you took the screenshot?

Disk 0 is my samsung Sata ssd, and i have connect Pcie/M2 as well which is not detected.
sorry forgot to mention disk details, Disk0 - 250 GB Samsung sata ssd, Disk 1 - PCIe/M2 1 tb xpg adata which is not detectable

@BHARATH - Use Windows USB/DVD tool to make your USB ISO - problem solved
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download...s.aspx?id=56485
Ignore it only says Win8, it's OK, just used it the other day for Win10 2004 ISO

@Lost_N_BIOS @Fernando - As i mentioned #12 before, since my iso is more than 4.5 gb rufus tool itself not showing fat32 option so i used microsoftmedia creation tool which write iso to my usb using fat32. I disconnected all other drive except PCie/M2 and started to boot from usb and on disk partition it is showing as 0 bytes. not sure what could be the issue.

Also on bios front screen, windows loading symbol appears and loading. One more thing is when i started to do the mod bios two days back, initially MMTool 4.50.0.23 had issue shows a incorrect table (i didn't captue the error) when i tried to insert NvmExpressDxe module so i tried with UEFITool_v0.28.0 (found Pad Files on my bios) and inserted only the small NvmExpressDxe modue since another module didn't accepted the size..will it cause any issue?

could you please help to insert NvmExpressDxe.ffs on the below package so that i will tried to flash bios again and check.

@BHARATH:
It is the size of the INSTALL.WIM, which prevents to set the "File System" of the bootable USB Flash Drive to FAT32.
Solution: Get the desired original Win10 Image, which contains an INSTALL.ESD. It contains all data of the INSTALL.WIM, but in compressed form and requires much less space.
Another question: Is your NVMe SSD untouched or did you or someone else already use it for any purpose?

@BHARATH In this stage of installation the detection of the M2 disk is not bios related. And if the disk shows up it means that the controller on the M2 device is recognized correctly by your system. So the problem (disk yes, but sisze = 0) is on the M2- device between controller and storage chip. Should be warranty on this M2 SSD?

..... yesterday before os installation on m2 SSD, i created gpt partition with two disk. .....

But since the M2 device is seen (NVMe controller recognized) but not only 'Free space' but also 'Total size' is reported as '0 MB' and there's no disk shown in 'Disk management' or in 'diskpart' ....

No, it is a new PCIe and M2 sdd which i brought last week. two days back i installed windows 10 OS on it.

yes it has warrenty. i'm planning to replace it.

Just to clarify - win10 iso that i had previously doesn't had bootx64.efi file due to that uefi boot failed so i downloaded another windows 10 iso from torrent site and using rufus-3.11 with gpt+NTFS i started to install os on my m2 ssd disk. after the successfull installation, i installed my antivirus and it found some virus on it and asken for reboot.. after reboot it cleaned some files and when i started system next day, i didn't bootup and started to have trouble.

@BHARATH:
1. Untouched original Microsoft ISO files contain all required files. So if your Win10 ISO didn't contain the file named bootx64.efi within the EFI\boot folder, it hasn't been an original ISO file.
2. It is never a good idea to download a Windows OS via torrent filesharing.
3. The best and safest way to get the latest original Win10 Image with the small sized INSTALL.ESD is to to use the MS tool MediaCreationTool2004.exe. You can get it >here< (you should customize the URL, if you don't want the EN-US variant).

@BHARATH:
It's 'not recommended' to work with operating system ISOs from unknow sources and continuing with a fresh system finding a possible virus right after installation is at least very optimistic. At this point nobody knows any longer what really happened to your drive, unfortunately.

Last thing to try:
1.) Try a secure erase using a disk tool like f.ex. parted magic
2.) Did you check the firmware directly after installing? Adata has an update to version V9002s34. This firmware update does anyway reset the disk/ destroy all data.

@lfb6:
I downloaded the Adata tool and tried since the disk is not visible, adata tool also not able to detect it..
Let me try the first option.. or Monday planning to visit Service center. Thanks

@BHARATH - Sorry, not sure if the same tool is used as what I linked you or not, if not, use the tool I linked, it's what I use for Win10 ISO to USB creation.
This may create NTFS USB, but it is bootable and installable in UEFI mode, I just installed 2004 from my 32GB USB the other day, in UEFI mode (and it's NTFS formatted I just checked)
So that may be a limitation of how Rufus makes things, causing it to have to use FAT32, not sure?
I looked around about this, how it's possible, why Fernando mentioned FAT32 only, etc, and I see this thread, and they say New Rufus can do UEFI/NTFS too -
https://superuser.com/questions/588080/u...ot-a-ntfs-drive
See also, creator of Rufus replied - https://superuser.com/questions/1023290/...reater-than-4gb

But, by far, easiest and known working method I linked you to, the Windws USB/DVD tool

If you already flashed your NVME mod BIOS, and it booted, then all is OK (padding added or removed), so I think you are good there as mentioned by lfb6

Looks like it may be faulty NVME, sorry to see, hopefully getting replacement is painless for you!

formatted with FAT32 using Rufus didn't make the USB bootable since my os iso image is more than 4.5 GB

Just for clarification: The size of the ISO image itself doesn't matter, but the FAT32 file system is not usable, if the ISO image contains any file, which is bigger sized than 4 GB. The file with the biggest size within the Windows ISO images is the install.wim.

@supertaco - @BHARATH mod BIOS (for B85M-D3H-A) was F2, I can make you F3a if you want, this BIOS is a year newer than F2?
Or, if you want F2, I can make you new mod if BHARATH does not want to upload his mod BIOS. I have it, but maybe he did not want to share. So if he does not reply, I will make you new F2 NVME if you want F2 instead of F3a

Thank you so much for your answer. F3a its ok. I don't know if its better the F2, but i guess that newer is better, right? I've used the nvme adapter with my ssd and it's fully recognized in windows. So this new firmware its not going to have a problem to boot from NVME.

Thank you again.

@Majkel232 let's wait for @Lost_N_BIOS to have some spare time to make the file.

Thank you again for your time!

EDIT
Well, i must return the CPU to my friend and i will not be capable to update his bios. No problem!
