Hi. I can extract the zip file just fine? I am using another laptop to download and extract it, no error while extracting.
Thank you for your reply. I am using Win10 22H2 to unzip the file; it will show the error again and again. After that, I installed Winrar and tried again, and this time there was no error while extracting. Thanks for your help.
Hi,
I have the same Gigabyte GA-77X-D3H rev1.1 motherboard and appreciate that you have the bios F18i mod done.
For me to flash the mod r11 bios, do I need to rename to F18i or just use the r11 name? Thanks in advance for the work done.
If I’m not mistaken there shouldn’t be an issue with the naming as long as the extension is correct.
Thanks a lot. I will rename it to be same as F18i. Will try it and hope all goes well.
Boot to dos and flash bios by slic18i.bat (eg. Efiflash SLIC.18i).
So, now I have version f18i while previous I had f16i.
I still don’t see the nvme disk in bios in order to boot from it.
The nvme is perfectally working in both Win10 and WinXP with Kai OFA 1.3 drivers. How I can boot from it?
Post#3, 1rst link…to fully read.
EDIT: …Yes that link. The mod is already flashed so…you’re a newbie but you can still read i believe.
The procedure of how to install OS and set bios settings are the only thing that remains.
I change all of the bios setings legacy, uefi, windows 8 special swich in bios, sata order, bios legacy/uefi oprom etc. whatever I try and still not having option to boot from nvme. The standard cable connected sata hdd had WinXP so I know how to install an OS. The problem is I don’t see the nvme by pressing F12 and that nvme does not appear anywhere inside the bios.
CSM is OFF neither AUTO, set it to UEFI or disable CSM Support, Windows 8 off for install (Other OS), later ON for full UEFI boot screen, upon Windows setup (NOT XP or 7 without NVMe drivers integrated) the disk will appear on destination disk selection, that’s it.
Until the OS is installed no NVMe disk boot options priorities/entries will show in bios.
Example of a new boot option priority, after installation on NVME disk
Thanks, I already haved installed Win10. I guess I have to add a boot option with easybcd for that disk but I only see boot options in the bios my UEFI:Corsair usb stick: 1st option and the normal sata disk: 2nd option in the screenshot. The nvme is missing completelly from the bios.
Why didnt you mentioned this before… always the same bs.
Thats because you’re using an old OS installed previously and that’s why you were failing to boot, as the guide is for a CLEAN new OS installation, on a new disk or cleaned partition disk.
Pure UEFI environment and modern OS will use EFI partition/GPT disk system.
A new installation according the guide will not need any edit in system OS boot entries.
I told you to FULLY read the guide, im out of here.
So I conclude I have to have always install and power on the normal sata disk in order the machine to boot to nvme after reading a few bootmgr files from the sata disk. Is this correct?
Also you see straight from your bios your nvme while on my bios there no such nvme option.
I think we are not talking about modern OS or GPT partitions, but only the boot medium here. Anyway, if I install right from the start Windows 10 on a clean system and set beforehand bios to UEFI mode, then, can I have the nvme option appear as your bios?

As long as Gigabyte hasn’t given your mainboard a BIOS with natively complete NVMe support, you will not see the model name of your NVMe SSD within the BIOS. Nevertheless you can use it as bootable system drive, if you follow my advices within the chapter “Step 4 - Installation of Win10/11 onto the NVMe SSD”, which is within >this< Guide.
No, you don’t need the SATA SSD and can even completely remove it, but nevertheless will be able to boot off the NVMe SSD. The only thing you have to do is to create an EFI boot partition on it according to my Guide.
