Help! I have a new PC I am building for the office and it has a 990fx Extreme3 p1.70 and a pair of Samsung M2 SM951 M.2 PCI-e 3.0 SSDs both in PCI-E adapters. I bought these as I erroneously expected them to run directly through PCIe like an OCX Revo drive we have in another machine. So I guess this issues serves me right for not reading up on new tech properly. Anyway I cannot get the uefi to recognise the drives. I can boot into Win 10 installation via a USB stick and then see both drives and install Windows onto one of the drives but after the first part of the installation the PC does a reboot and goes straight into the uefi where I cannot see the drives. Any suggestions gratefully appreciated as I am a bit out of my depth with this one. |

U need to create a Windows 10 USB (GPT) installations media with UEFI support (GPT) Use RUFUS . Tutorial for RUFUS and Download http://www.windowscentral.com/how-create-windows-10-usb-installation In UEFI set AHCI . Mount SM951, No other drive. Boot directly from USB (GPT) with http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=win10" rel="nofollow - Win10 installer. Let Windows to configure your drive. If you are lucky and the board bios is compatible, after installation, in UEFI you will finding a new drive in BOOT menu something like "Windows Boot Drive". |
