I just picked up an m2 hat+ (https://thepihut.com/products/raspberry-pi-m2-hat-plus) and 1tb m2 card (https://thepihut.com/products/raspberry ... 1487858049). I followed all the instructions on putting them together and prepping/installing stuff (https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentati ... stallation). However, my drive is not appearing on my desktop. It's a new RPi5 and I've gone through doing all the updates and whatnot to it so it should be ok.
On startup I get a red/orange light on the hat showing it has power, and a couple of blue flashes from the m2 drive itself, but then nothing

Is anyone able to shed some light on what I might be doing wrong?
