I'm experiencing a frustrating issue with my PC. I attempted to reset it and downloaded Windows onto a USB drive to reinstall. However, I can't get it to install on my SSD. I followed some advice to clean the SSD using the command prompt, but I forgot to create a partition after that. Now, when I restart the PC, it only boots from the USB, and the BIOS doesn't show the SSD anymore. How can I recover my SSD?

It sounds like you might need to install the right drivers for your SSD. Sometimes, the system can't detect drives due to missing drivers, especially after a reset. Make sure you have everything needed for the installation.
If your SSD isn't showing up in BIOS at all, it usually means it's not detected for some reason. This could be due to a connection issue, the drive failing, or even just looking in the wrong BIOS section for the drive. You should check if it's properly connected.
Have you tried making sure your USB is set as the first boot device in the BIOS? Also, double-check how you created the bootable USB. If it's not correct, that could be causing the issue.
