Hey everyone! I just built a new PC and I'm trying to install Windows 11 on it. However, I keep running into an error when I get to the point where I need to select the SSD for the installation. I've also tried installing Windows 10, but I face the same issue. I've followed several guides on YouTube and other sites, trying tips from others who had similar problems—like cleaning the SSD and using Rufus to format the USB properly—but nothing seems to work. My setup includes a Gigabyte B650 EAGLE AX motherboard and a Seagate FireCuda 530 SSD (500GB, M.2 2280, PCIe 4.0) if that helps. Anyone got any solutions?

Have you checked your BIOS settings? Sometimes, you need to make sure the SATA mode is set to AHCI for your SSD to be recognized properly. Also, make sure that the drive is set as the boot priority. If that doesn't work, it might be worth trying to create the installation USB again with a different tool to ensure everything is formatted right.
Before you make changes, just a reminder to back up any important data. But for your SSD issue, sometimes a quick reset of the BIOS to defaults can help clear out misconfigurations that could be causing these errors.
Is this your only drive in the system? If you have multiple drives, try disconnecting them temporarily and see if you can proceed with the installation on just your SSD.
