Hi,

I noted there is a new beta bios for Z77 Extreme4 motherboards, namely 2.90P.
http://www.asrock.com/MB/Intel/Z77%20Extreme4/index.hu.asp#BIOS

Previously I had a two week long fight to make my PCI-E NVME SSD to boot from which even I managed to install win10 on it in UEFI mode, but when after restart did not work as bootable source (you can see my previous posts in this thread).

Since then I use the drive as a data drive only.

Can you please let me know what was updated in the beta bios from 2.90M to 2.90P? Any new/improved support for NVME SSDs? Is there a chance that my drive would work as boot disk with the new bios?

Many Thanks,
Tamás

Since this thread is 3 years old, and 23 pages long, is there a link to an updated guide for the newer MB's such as my z370 Taichi and Win10 install on a NVMe drive?

Quick question. I have the ASRock Z77 PRO4 1155 ATX Motherboard. Is it compatible with the Samsung 960 pro SSD? Or do I have to buy an add-on adapter just to plug it into the PCIE port?

I have problem with ASRock z370 Extreme4 and Patriot Hellfire M.2 SSD.

Settings:
- UEFI is up to date (1.30)
- CSM - disabled (CSM enabled also don't works)
- All SATA devices - unplugged
- Storage Configuration screen, the SATA Mode be set to AHCI (default)

Problems:
Windows 10 don't see SSD in "Storage" list.
Windows 10 installer (USB - UEFI) don't see SSD
Windows 8.1 installer (USB - UEFI) don't see SSD

Also, after M.2 is installed - PC freeze on start "ASRock" logo screen (about 3-5 minutes, then continue works). After M.2 is unplugged - no freezes.

Any thoughts?
Plz help.

Also, here is a similar problem , but also there is no answer.

Still having problems with this? I've never encountered that error message when installing Windows. The message does not make sense, since the PC does not boot/reboot during the file copying phase of the installation.

How is installing Windows on a SATA drive (unknown drive) related to installing Windows on a PCIe SSD, the purpose of this thread?

So little information given, all I can do is ask questions.

Using an ISO download of Win 20 Fall CU? What installation media are you using and how did you create it?

Is the second SATA drive connected to an Intel SATA port, and not an ASMedia SATA port?

Is that SATA drive on an Intel SATA port that is NOT shared with the M.2 slot used by the 960 EVO?

Do you have the other two Win 10 installation drives running in the PC while you try to install Windows on the mystery drive? You risk having the system/boot partition for the mystery drive installation being put on one of the other drives. A typical thing the Windows installer will do.

It was the new Deepcool DA500 500w RET power supply. I read the good reviews of this model only.
I found the decision by the next way: I tried to disconnect SATA cable from HDD but keep power cable - PC boots well. Consequently I decided that PSU is initiator of the problem. I looked the voltage behaviour in the different modes (with/without HDD) on BIOS/Hardware Monitor tab. The 3.3V line not looks well. I replace PSU with power supply from my old PC and problem disappears. Thank you very much for the attention to my probllem. Best regards.

Wow, you went through the whole list of settings in the UEFI to get Windows installed on an NVMe SSD, no doubt driving you crazy due to the failures.

Then the PSU had a problem, seemingly unrelated to an installation problem. You just never know. We could suggest a different PSU but most people would dismiss that as a waste of time, and I get that.

Did you have the bad PSU for a long time, or was it new? Curious what model it was.
