ArtiElviajero,

I just remembered a problem I had with a Plextor M.2 SSD that only affected backups. It turned out that a firmware update resolved the issue. Have you checked to see if the Samsung 980 has a firmware update?

Another thing that I have seen on some forums in cases such as this was to use a PCIe card to host the M.2 SSD. That resolved the problem for that user.

I have tried on both drives. RAID is off, Windows 10 Pro.
If 980 was not compatible with MB, other OSes should have issues too, but it is only windows

ArtiElviajero,

You don't mention what version of Windows. I am going to guess you are trying to get Windows 10 installed, and not a version of server. What revision of Windows 10?

In the BIOS, is the RAID option(s) disabled? And which of the two Samsung drives are you installing to?

It is worth noting that neither Samsung drive is listed in the QVL. It is possible the 980Pro NVME drive is truly not compatible with the motherboard and Windows. I would disable or remove the 980Pro NVME drive and try installing to the 860Evo. If that works, then the issue is related to the 980Pro.

Hello All
MB: TRX40 Creator
BIOS: v1.70
RAM: 2x16 TridenZ DD4-4000
HDD: SSD NVME M.2 Samsung 980Pro 1T SSD SATA Samsung 860Evo 1T
CPU: Threadripper x3960
GPU: RX5600XT

Issue, windows installation fails when selecting drive in two ways "unexpected error" or cannot install on this drive check logs or later cannot make drive bootable for next install phase.
Installing Linux (Ubuntu, Suse, Fedora etc.) works perfect.

Any suggestions

PS. I used search and google function but did not find any thing usefull

Cheers
