I'm in the process of reinstalling Windows 11, but my SSD isn't being recognized by the setup. I created a bootable flash drive using Rufus but still can't see the SSD. Has anyone faced a similar issue or know how I can troubleshoot this?

Before you dive into any changes, make sure to back up your data. Sometimes adjustments in BIOS or disk settings can lead to data loss. Check your BIOS settings to ensure that the SSD is detected there. If you're not seeing it, it might be a connection issue or a need to update your drivers.
If your SSD was used before, and especially if it was Bitlocker encrypted, that could explain why it’s not showing up. You might need to disable Bitlocker first, but remember, without the recovery key, you won't access the data on it. If you’re okay with wiping it, consider formatting the drive through a different bootable USB or partitioning tool.
