Can't seem to find SSD in Arch dual boot install process
I've wiped my old PC clean and want to install a dual boot windows,arch (I've already installed windows and everything is working fine)
I got:
HDD [1TB]
SSD [256GB]
windows(and the efi] are on my SSD but I've left 100GB room for the Arch install
Here is the problem whenever I "cfdisk" or "fdisk -l" in the Arch install my SSD is nowhere to be seen.
I've tried to just ignore it and install Arch on my HDD but I cant mount my EFI from the SSD because its just not there.
I've looked through a few other forum posts but none state a clear awnser.
Any help would be appreciated

Make sure that the drive is set to AHCI mode in your firmware menu.
