[HowTo] Get full NVMe Support for all Systems with an AMI UEFI BIOS

@lfb6
You were right
In fact I was affraid to push to hard and the drive wasnt entirely connected x)
Now everything is good !
Detected in bios and windows, I even see PATA in boot options.

Thanks a lot for your time ! You helped a lot.


So I confirm this method works on MSI Z87 MPOWER MAX !

Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum!

The requested links work perfectly (Main and Mirror links for both modules). I just have checked it myself.

Hello. I have read almost all threads about booting the m.2 disk in old motherboards. I have GA-B85M-D3H, I have just added BIOS modified for NVME entry from Fernando’s first page. The PATA option is visible in the BIOS but the disc is not detected by the controller. I have a Toshiba M.2 drive and a PCIe adapter. What else can I do if someone will help me with the BIOS modification to make it work? I would prefer not to use the flash drive to boot windows 10 via CLOVER. HELP!

@Wojbor Did you enabled (U)EFI booting in CSM menu ?
Also, unless you have boot partition on NVMe drive (ie. OS), it won’t appear in BIOS as boot option.

@agentx007
Yes, I changed the boot settings in CMS. The disk is without a partition at this time and the windows 10 installer can not install it. What should I do?

@Wojbor Cannot install it =…
1) It can see it but Windows says “can’t install OS on this drive”.
2) NVMe drive isn’t visible under Windows instalator.
(drivers added, pendrive with windows is booted as UEFI ?)
^Pick one, or make a picture of what you see in UEFI/Windows installer.

@agentx007
option 1. The installer says that he can not install the operating system on this drive

Are you sure, your windows install pendrive is made for EFI/GPT ?

@agentx007
I’m not sure, I’ll check it tomorrow and let you know, thanks for the tip

What shall we do for you? The download of the required file?


@Wojbor :
Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum!

What happens exactly? Did you boot off the USB Flash Drive in UEFI mode?

This is screen from my bios and os installer. The Cruzer is a pendrive with win 10. Installer is in Polish language :grinning: "hardware does not support boot from this drive. Make sure that The controller is on in bios menu" When i boot usb drive in UEFI mode the bios not started with warning " ni bootable devices us detected, system will enter the bios setup utility."

@Wojbor Try :
Storage boot options = “UEFI and Legacy” or “UEFI only”.
Boot mode = UEFI.

I’m pretty sure you aren’t using EFI/GPT enabled Windows installation - that’s why you don’t see option for your pendrive… either way, first change boot options to include UEFI booting and see what it does.

If those don’t work : Create new installation pendrive with Rufus (GPT/EFI/FAT32).

Did you disable within the BIOS the options “Secure Boot” and “Fast Boot”?

@FLX if you were using .rom BIOS, that’s not renamed exactly like the original then, that was the issue maybe, it has to be exact same filename.andextension as stock BIOS.
Yes, FPT must be used correctly, and with correct files and proper commands (Not used at all with stock BIOS generally, you’ll loose your serial, UUID and sometimes LAN MAC ID too)
Glad to see you got this all sorted out now though

Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum!

The BIOS can only detect disk drives, which are currently connected to the mainboard. That is the reason why it cannot yet show the “PATA” device.
If you want to know, whether you have done the BIOS moification correctly, please attach the original and the modded BIOS as *.ZIP or *.RAR files. Then we will do a look into both of them.

@r00t7d2 :
The BIOS modification seems to be done perfectly.
I am pretty sure, that you will enjoy the speed of your future NVMe SSD.
