Another, maybe easier method would have been to create the bootable USB Flash drive containing the OS image by using the tool Rufus and to choose the "Partition Scheme" option "GPT Partition Scheme for UEFI".
I mean adding a GPT Table to my SSD. But I have to say I had another working Windows Installation which I booted inbetween and while booting there was every time a scan on this drive and that changed the partition of the SSD. In gparted I could see then a small system partition on this drive. Creating the installer-stick with Rufus went fine by the way
I am pretty sure, that the answer is: "Yes!" According to my knowledge and own experience the method, which I have explained wthin the start post of this thread, will work with all Intel chipset systems, whose mainboard has an AMI UEFI BIOS.

Ohh…this is nice…will I have slower speed m.2 ssd …if adapter will be installed in Pcie 2.0 not 3.0 ?
Excuse me, my English skill isn’t good, @Fernando I’ve followed your instruction at page 1, but when I press Insert button I got below error, I don’t understand, my drive has about 150GB free?
My mother board is Gigabyte B85M-D3H rev 1.2, can you help me? Thanks in advance!
EDIT by Fernando: MMTool screenshot cut out, resized and re-inserted, extremely big sized picture removed (to save space),
This message means, that there is a space problem within the BIOS and not within any of your Disk Drives. Solution options:
Try to insert the already pre-compressed NVMe module (you can find the download link within the start post of this thread).
If you should still get the error message, you may have to remove any other module from the BIOS, which your system doesn’t need and use.
Off topic:
If you want to take and post a screenshot from any GUI interface (here: AMI Aptio MMTool), hit the ALT+PRINT buttons of your keyboard, then run MS Paint, hit the Menu options "Paste" and then "Crop". Now you can save the screenshot as *.png or *.jpg file and insert it into your post.
Was looking through the latest Clover release and found that there is a new NVMExpressDxe module driver in the Clover version 3773 release. It is about 8kb larger than the original file I experimented with last year. I attempted to convert it to an FFS file though not sure if I corrected the checksum and could use Sonix’s help with that. I also do not know how “NVMExpressDxe” string into the file as a name that is displayed inside MMTool. Anyhow I have a file available for testing if you want it Fernando though you may prefer Sonix’s assitance in its proper conversion as my file is untested.
I’ve attached the file in an unmodified form. I have also converted it to an ffs but have not had a chance to test it so not going to post that one for safety reasons. Maybe Sonix can convert it properly for you.
@davidm71 : Thank you for very much for having attached the new "pure" EFI NVMe module, which has been compiled by the Clover Team.
@SoniX : On the basis of the new NVMExpressDxE.efi file I have built a new NVMExpressDxE.ffs file, which may be usable with Intel chipsets from 6-Series up. It would be much appreciated, if you can take the time to check both attached files. What do you think? Shall we replace the older NVMe modules by these ones? Will they work better?
No problem as I was very curious and going to try it out later this afternoon. It is approximately 8 kb bigger in file size and can assume they’ve added more NVMe drive support or possibly more logic. I inquired on the Clover discussion thread but got ignored by the developers. Good luck.
@Fernando 2 FFS file including compressed. I can not say what kind of assembly, and whether it will work. Unfortunately I did not check, because there is no correct controller and the disk.
These drivers have all BIOS since 9th chipset, and they are not universal. Moreover, it is one (Int13) of the 3-ex files AMI NVMe.
I have seen two ways to add NVME support. The first (yours) is to add the the module from the first post. The second is to pull three NVME related modules from a Z97 BIOS, and insert those. I was wondering if there is a difference in the result of the two methods?
I am trying to add NVME support to a ASrock z77 Extreme9 with an i7-3770k, in order to add one of the new 600p SSDs. Thanks for all the work you have put into this!
