Would I be correct to assume that the SATA drives are visible in the BIOS but not under Computer Management?

Open Run with Windows+R hotkeys, type compmgmt.msc and tap OK
Hi Brian
You are right on the money.
Yes I can see the drives in the BIOS under legacy but I cannot see them under Computer Management / Disk Management.
I am not sure if this is related to older ME firmware or not.
Can you guide me ?
The ME features are largely irrelevant for the standard user, unless you have a whole network of these machines where you are remotely deploying updates, turning machines on and off etc. In any case it has nothing to do with recognizing disk drives - I would suggest disabling AMT in the bios.
Dear MtothaJ
If these ME features are not relevant to me are we then talking about these Intel Rapid Storage Technology Enterprise ?
These are two seperate matters:
- ME / AMT features can be disabled or enabled in the bios - the decesion is up to you. If you enable AMT, then there you should also install the Intel ME software drivers from HP (in the drivers - chipset section) else you will have various devices in Device Manager showing as unknown
- for the RST install the latest driver from HP. SInce you are using WIndows 10 more likely than not you will be asked whether you really want to install these drivers since they are older than those in WIn 10 (I had this happen on a Z420) - you should confirm this and install the HP drivers. Only after I installed the HP drivers I did not get any 'question marks' / unknown devices in Device Manager
Basically whatever scenario you choose you should be in a situation where you have no question marks / unknown devices in device manager. Disabling ME / AMT is useful since you have one less thing to deal with and in any case it is unlikely you will be using this.
