New NVME not detected in UEFI[SOLVED]

Hi there,

Got a new hard drive to replace my old NVME which i installed arch on as well.

However i can't seem to get the hard drive detected when booting in standard uefi (from usb)

I had this problem with my old one but was able to fix it after going through some of the formatting/installation process via legacy and then attaching the drive to a boot option in uefi which allowed it to be detected when booting from uefi on my usb and i finished the install

This however has not worked on this new nvme and i really don't know where to go from here, thanks

While I haven't ever worked with NVME drives (because I don't even have a motherboard that supports them). Go ahead and paste the output of lsblk in code tags.

Can you see the drive from the BIOS? What motherboard and drive are we talking about?

If you boot from the install media, can you see it with lsblk  ?

Re: New NVME not detected in UEFI[SOLVED]

Hey y'all thanks for the fast response, i've been working so just now been able to post lsblk

This is from lsblk when i boot my usb from uefi

loop0 7:0 0 698.8M 1 loop /run/archiso/airootfs
sda 0:0 1 28.9G 0 disk
sda1 0:1 1 28.9G 0 part /run/archiso/bootmnt

And this is when i boot the usb from legacy

loop0 7:0 0 698.8M 1 loop /run/archiso/airootfs
sda 0:0 1 28.9G 0 disk
sda1 0:1 1 28.9G 0 part /run/archiso/bootmnt
nvme0n1 259:0 0 931.5G 0 disk
nvme0n1p1 259:1 512M 0 part
nvme0n1p2 259:2 512M 0 part
nvme0n1p3 259:3 930.5G 0 part

Now that i have done some of the installation i can find the NVME file system in bios, though i can't install the uefi grub architecture to the MBR without booting from uefi.

Instead i tried just adding it as a boot option by linking the .efi hoping then it would be detected when i boot from uefi with my usb, but have no success.

achi 0000:00:17.0 Switch your BIOS from RAID to AHCI mode to use them.
