My HP Pavilion X360 M3-u00ldx is not recognizing my brand new Samsung 860 Evo 500GB ssd. Upon start up I get  3F0 error which states there is no hard drive. When I boot to a Windows 10 disc it also doesn't recognize it.

 

Any suggestions on how it can be recognized is appreciated.

 

Thank you for looking.
