i need some help i just got a new computer and i want to install a new OS onto it, im currently on the "select location to install windows 11" screen, but it doesnt have my C drive / SSD disk showing... any ideas why this is? i put the new OS onto a flash drive and the flash drive is the only disk available...

i dont think its a formatting issue because i cant select the C drive no matter which m.2 drive i have inserted into the computer

it looks like this guy had the same issue

but i dont have those settings in the bios, as far as i can see, to fix it.

any help is appreciated.
