See your manual page 4-3 to 4-6 for various methods.
My guess is manual page 4-6 method using a DOS USB drive will do the trick; but you can try the other methods first. Also try using a USB 2.0 drive 32GB or less formatted FAT32.
Good luck!

@hancor thank you again :slight_smile:

BIOS is working Iā€™ve flashed it via CH341A.
Iā€™ve used steps from these threads :
(check any youtube video before - remove battery first from MB and then ā€œBIOSā€ chip from MB) and put it into socket on CH341A.
Donā€™t forget extract cap file into bin via UEFI Tool (iā€™ve used 0.28.0)

( used - Step 4 - Installation of Win10/11 onto the NVMe SSD)

My result :
123

Splendid, that looks like the sweet smell of success!
Delighted that worked out for youā€¦ :partying_face: :dizzy: :100: :wink:

Cheers :beers:

Yes my friend, but now i think you should add the already past confirmed info that only with a Programmer, the mod can be flashed, on your offer thread, cheers.

EDIT: Hancorā€¦ im just saying it, based on all past users on this thread and this user now, i may have read it wrong but i cant recall seeing other method confirmed.
Till other user report we donā€™t have any other confirmationā€¦
Youā€™re free to add it or not my friend, regards.

Given @palik42 has acknowledged he hadnā€™t tried the other methods in the manual, one canā€™t be 100% sure on that measure.
Moreover, there is also the possibility that the afuwinx64.exe bios.rom /GAN may also work as the motherboard is from around that particular vintage. This could be similar to the Asus Z87A method, which turned into a lengthy thread.
Perhaps we havenā€™t definitively exhausted all methods of flashing a modded bios in this particular case. However, we have established that CH341A programming is one validated avenue for this motherboard. :face_with_monocle: :wink:

For me this BIOS doesnā€™t seem to work. I used the USB programmer. Is the drive supposed to show up in BIOS after this? all that appeared in my Boot order is "PATA : " and then nothing after the colon. I have a Windows 10 clone on that drive but it doesnā€™t want to boot from it.
Drive is WD Black SN850X 2TB
It shows up in windows when I boot from my old drive though. But removing my old boot drive from the bios boot order just gives me the message ā€œNo bootable mediaā€

Thanks in advance for any help!

Now take a look on the guide guidance and check the:

Step 3 - Flashing of the modded BIOS:

Additional Notes: (open/hide by a click)

EDIT: I never advise cloning an old legacy OS to new NVMe disk after mod, so proceed as you want.

Seems to me nothing is wrong then, but still doesnā€™t work. The drive is a complete clone of my old OS install (which I use right now), and it just doesnā€™t want to boot when I remove my old drive from the BOOT list in the BIOS. seeing Step 4 with " his requires the creation of an EFI Boot Sector named ā€œWindows Boot Managerā€ , which will be done during the installation of the OS (see next step)."

This sector is already there after cloning my drive, right? or what is going on here? Should I try to do a clean install on the NVMe, then delete the fresh OS partition, then clone my old drive?

EDIT: Ok so I tried a fresh install. Pulled all SATA drives leaving only the NVME. Ran the Win install, which worked wonders. Restart, then nothing. No bootable deviceā€¦ I am at a loss here.

Did you set the bios settings NOW as full UEFI, CSM OFF and non AUTO?
The PATA device usually only show in bios in the so called ā€œtest modeā€ as CSM ON or AUTO, it will not be seen in PURE UEFI implementation.
For correct install and boot the system should be set as UEFI system environment NOT legacy (CSM/AUTO) understood now? Other than that its human error or hardware error.
Nothing more to add, over_n_out of here.

EDIT: Then you must figure it out yourselfā€¦ how cant you even boot new a EFI source or your old Legacy/UEFI OSā€¦humm!!! Strange isnā€™t itā€¦ ā€œdamm so many users on the forum did itā€¦and i cantā€
And this has nothing to do with the simple NVMe mod presented here in this forum.

Yeah I got all that.
When CSM is off (using full UEFI) the computer just jumps straight back to the bios when I ā€œsave and resetā€ and no other drives are listed in the boot list. canā€™t even boot from my old harddrive then, which is weird. Neither does it boot from any USB drive. Seems like turning CSM off completely (in bios it is called ā€œActivate CSM: ā€œNeverā€ā€), it ignores any boot procedure what so ever.
