After alot of coffe, little update to my earlier posts. UEFI has taken over for the old BIOS in 2007, now running version 2,5. Got my first mobo with UEFI about 2011, so it's about time to make full use of it ! Today all equipment are UEFI combatible. Only the disks needs any "tampering". UEFI format disks in GPT(GuidePartitionTable) To make use of both MBR- and GPT -disks, CSM has to be "fiddled" with. Running GPT on all internal disks means you should disable CSM. In UEFI Mode, Windows 10 installer program will not find an MBR disk (in UEFI called Legacy disk). And will not find any place to load. So, in UEFI the OS-disk has to be formatted in GPT in advance, regardless of disk type. Rest of the disks may be formatted in GPT when W10 is installed.
1. Format 2. Choose Delete Volume. 3. MBR to GPT. 4. R.click unallocated volume/new simple volume, and follow the precidure (Next all the way). You can label the disk later. In Command promt (admin) : Type diskpart/list disk/select disk 1 (the disk number) clean/convert GPT Both ways will cleene the disk completly, so backup all you want to keep ! |

That I haven't investigated, but I will think so.
I'm an retired Electronic tecnician. These matters are all new to me.
The GPT protocoll is - as I understand - to take over for the older MBR. All types of disks can use this. Disks over 3TB MUST. So we wil learn to make use of it no matter. UEFI BIOS is also a must for using GPT. In all this - I belive an AHCI wil work following the precidure. So get going - and good Luck With it :) Edited by Finnipinni - 07 Sep 2015 at 5:02am |

Great. I wonder now if the AHCI version need the same configuration ?

So I'll be the first ? (never in my life before) This morning I stumled over some cryptical letters : GPT. Investigating this learned me that any NVMe must be GPT - NOT MBR. (formatting means establishing MBR - no other chois that I could find) So do this at first : In BIOS : Storage OpRom - UEFI only Video OpRom - Legacy only ---------- Advaced/Storage Conf. SATA C. - Enabl. SATA Mode - RAID mode Onb.raid 3TB+ - UEFI mode for GPT SATA IDE Comb. - Dis. Note that SM951 are not shown anywhere. SATA3_5 Samsung 850 (GPT) -------------------------- The instaler program is now running. The SM951 are shown in 2 paritions. Be shure not to choose the EFI part. No need for formatting ! And this Pc stopped in the reset program an screen went black - it had to be stopped by holding the button Down for as long as it takes to force it to stop.
Then after update : All Works fine :) -------------------------- In Windows/ThisPc - only SM951 and Intel 520 are shown In Disk manager SM951 = disk 1 - Intel 520 = 0 |

Experimenal tryouts. Installing : "Hardware may not support booting to this disk. Disk kontroller must be enabled in bios". Earlier efforts has been done with this. When coosing UEFI "name on DVD-drive" : When coosing UEFI Built-in EFI Shell : ---------------------- BIOS in : Adv./Storage Conf. SATA Contr. Enabl. SATA Mode AHCI AMD BIOS Rom - Dis. No one else listed. --------------------------------- Adv./Storage Conf. SATA Mode RAID UEFI Mode For GP... Dis. Onboard 3TB+ Unlocker - UEFI Mode For GPT Partition. Coosing this when installing results in ASROCK on screene instead of windows flag, and it do not proceede. DVD stops after a hvile. ?€ |

Sorry for the misspelling.
I'm Norwegian...... Hope You understand most of it. It should be "from 1.3 to 1.5"

I reasently updated the BIOS from 1.4 to 1.5.
In the prosess, it show a "checkerboard" where colors where changing as the prosess went on.
I noticed that some of the squears diden't - an handfull stayed white. So if this fenomen is not what it should be - could it be the cause of M.2. not showing ? And would it be recomendable to repeet the prosess ? And how is this done the best way ? Many questions from me........ |
