That disk might be corrupted... Try another sata port in your motherboard, check its power cable (detach and reconnect).

clicking on disk 1 through disk management I could retrieve the following info about the Events:

Please, have a look at this report:

Hence now does the OS "see" it?

 

[Piuma]

No, I've uninstalled it again along with its "supposed-to-be" driver, and this time The OS doesn't see it.
I didn't llok for it in UEFI/BIOS, tho.

Did you try this?

Try another sata port in your motherboard, check its power cable (detach and reconnect).

Unfortunately, I didn't succeed at fully opening the chassis.

Hi, I've requested support to the Manufacturer' technician (Italian ASUS).
Quoting: " il problema del mancato funzionamento dell'SSD 24 Gb è causato dalla mancanza del software ExpressCache, questo programma è una tecnologia utilizzata per migliorare le prestazioni del sistema sfruttando un SSD come cache. In pratica, ExpressCache memorizza temporaneamente i dati più frequentemente utilizzati su un SSD, permettendo un accesso più rapido rispetto a un tradizionale disco rigido (HDD). "
I actually have that software installed, but it's interesting to fully understand the meaning of that 24 Gb SSD.
I've therefore indulged again throughout our thread above.
And found a screenshot (in attachment), where I could notice a different partitioning tho, compared to the actual one created by the system after formatting and re-installing W10 (screenshot #26).
I think that something went wrong during that formatting session, and now my ssd is 0Gb and unexistant to the system.

I would like to start by creating again the same partitioning on Disk 0.

I've tried Paragon partition manager free, but it's not helping, so maybe I should go ahead with Diskpart.

Could you please write for me some guidance lines, as to proceed, and avoid further mistakes?

Did you download and install the software expresscache for Windows 10 for your Asus model through its support website?
If no, do it. Then:

• Run ECWin10Cleanup.exe (via administrative command prompt)
  DO NOT reboot!
• Run ExpressCacheSetup.exe
• Reboot your system

Since I formatted (by mistake) the SSD part of the HD on my laptop, I've reinstalled windows10 and the ExpressCache many times in the past month, and just done again , but no changes.

Then I've followed this procedure:
Redirecting



And it comes out that HFS volume is not mounted. (screenshot in attachment) ...
