Hard drive SSD not visible

[Billy46]

Hello guys I bought a new ssd,I just connected on but is not invisible on my computer,but on the bios I can see it,can you tell what can I do please???

I am going to assume you mean it is not visible. When you say it is not invisible, it means you can see it.
Have you partitioned and formatted the drive? This must be done prior to actual use. Go to disk management; right click start>run and type in "diskmgmt.msc" without quotes and hit enter. Post a screenshot of disk management here.

Are you attempting to use this drive to install an operating system OR is it just for storage, data, etc?

Brand new disks need to be formatted to be available for use.

How to formart the disk
I check the installation with sandisk ssd and they didn't say something like this
By the way just know I put the old ssd to another sata gate and the computer can't find only the bios can see it

Select the drive in Disk Management (like you have in your pic) and choose Format from the drop-down menu.

If the disk is not appearing in disk mgt, something is wrong. Go back and recheck your work ie both pw and data cables connected [for the data cable both motherboard and drives ends]
It would really help if you posted ALL of your exact system specs. This utility will help with the specs. Run it and post the output.

I will do I just say is something wrong with the others gates because I use the old ssd on the other gates and it doesn't work,but in the bios it's so everything running ok so not problem with connecting or the disks

 

[Billy46]

That's it

You have a dell. Very often dells have sata ports disabled in the bios. Make sure whatever sata port you are using is enabled in the bios.
