I am having a PAD error.
I followed the instructions perfectly using the mmtool
I am using 3.4 bios version of x10sll-f supermicro board.
Using the mmtool the first nvme was too big so I used the smaller version. I did not compress it.
Then I opened up the UEFItool to compare the injection points to check for the PAD issue. I did find that while the original contained, the modded bios did not.
I am reporting this looking for help.
@wah00kid:
Welcome to the Win-Raid Forum!
To be able to help you we need the original BIOS file. Please give us a link to it.
@wah00kid
By using the UEFITool v0.28.0 I was able to get the NVMe EFI module named NvmExpressDxe_5.ffs properly inserted without touching or creating any Pad-file.
Here is the related picture:
Awesome Iāll use that tool instead of the mmtool.
Thanks so muchā¦ grrr I should have tried that.

Since there was no reason to start a new thread about your problems trying to extract an NVMe module from the NVMe supported BIOS of another mainboard model, I have moved your request into this already existing thread, where you can get answers to some of your questions.
Who do you think is responsable for the failure?
>Here< is the requested guide you obviously were missing.
mods providing non-answers and deleting the comment pointing it out, classic.
where is the NvmExpressDxe_5.ffs from, and extracted with which tool?
i extracted nvme and ami module from x299, but didnāt work. the ami module is the same as nvme module from x99.
iāve used mmtool for older m.2 drive with x99 modules, but doesnāt work with newer.
the one provided here works with newer, but not the old drive i have.
You obviously havenāt even read the start post of this thread.
The answer is written within Point 5. of the chapter āThis is what you will need:ā
As you can read there, it was our Forum member and BIOS module compiling Guru Ethaniel, who had created and optimized the offered NVMe modules himself by composing and customizing their hex code. So there has nothing been extracted by him from any existing BIOS.
Contrary to modern BIOSes, which natively contain 3 different NVMe EFI modules, Ethanielās NVMe modules donāt need any additionally added NVMe modules, but are nevertheless able to get the NVMe SSD bootable. The disadvantage of missing NVMe features (e.g. showing the exact name of the in-use NVMe SSD within the BIOS), is compensated by the fact, that Ethanielās NVMe modules, which are offered within this thread, definitely work fine with the NVMe Controller of all NVMe SSD models.
