I bought a T530i and had a spare ssd in my gaming PC which I thought I put in it but when I'm installing windows it says "No drives were found" any suggestions?

It is detected in the bios and even when I try to locate a driver it shows up as a drive in the browse menu so it's plugged in.

Are you on AHCI mode ?

I tried AHCI mode and Compatibility mode but neither worked

Did you try wiping the drive with Parted Magic?

After wiping your SSD you can clone your previous HD on your SSD
After you can use Paragon Alignment Tool (free)
