Manjaro Linux Samsung SSD 970 Evo Plus not showing up in Boot Menu

I currently have installed Manjaro Gnome on a Samsung SSD 970 Evo Plus. Everything was working properly until I went to restart the system. I am not able to see my my m.2 drive in the boot menu. I have been searching this issue but have not found a direct solution. I have disabled “fast boot” and made sure to be in “AHCI” mode. I can see my m.2 drive under storage information so I know that is recognized by the system. I’m new to this forum and to Manjaro so any help is appreciated. I have run Ubuntu Linux for many years and have recently switched over.

System:
Asus B550M Plus
Ryzen 7 3700x
EVGA 1650 Geforce GTX Super

UEFI <-> BIOS issue?

Please post the output of:

Hello @nrb523 :wink:

GPT is correct.

If you boot with UEFI, don’t you forget the efi partition, which have to be fat32 formatted :wink:

If you use a BIOS to boot a disk with GPT, there is a 8MB bios-grub partition needed, so that grub write to this partition, since GPT don’t support MBR like MS-DOS.

So it should look like this (it is my SSD), if it is uefi boot:

Model: ATA Apacer AS350 240 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdd: 240GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt
Disk Flags: 

Number  Start   End    Size   File system  Name  Flags
 1      2097kB  317MB  315MB  fat32        boot  boot, esp
 2      317MB   240GB  240GB  ext4         root

I assume this only for exchange? Or is that a 1TB efi partition? (you need only max. 500MB xD)
