Try and move your M.2 drive to the bottom 110 slot so its not even affiliated with your sata ports and sata controller . According to the manual here is your M.2 slot configuration. Also see if you can open control panel, administrative tools, computer management, disk management, then right click your drive and see if you can assign a letter to the drive manually.

o M.2 Enable/Disable is set within the BIOS
o This M.2 Key-M slot shares lanes with SATA ports 4/5. Installing an

M.2 is an SSD standard, which uses up to four PCIe lanes and utilizes Gen3
speeds. Most popularly paired with NVMe SSDs, this standard offers
substantially faster transfer speeds and seek time than SATA interface
standards. All M.2 devices are designed to connect via a card-bus style
connector, secured by bolting into place, and powered by the connector – rather
than a dedicated data cable and power cable.
This socket will support Key-M devices of 80mm, 60mm, and 42mm length.
Conflict: The top Key-M slot shares lanes with SATA ports 4/5. As a result,
these devices are mutually exclusive and must be enabled/disabled in the BIOS.
