@wizzleize:
There are wider issues with gettting nvme to work with win7. It quite often needs different BIOS settings than you might expect particularly when it comes to RAID vs AHCI, and some NVME need GUID partitions, which is not always the win7 default. Then there are other quirks e.g. Lenovo have recently been under fire for people having difficulty installing linux on them - see here: http://hexus.net/tech/news/systems/97195...tion-new-yogas/ - and that seems to be due to the RAID configuration they adopted.

Also, which drivers are not found? Is it ok with the USB3 drivers that a modern machine will need? You might want to try using ntlite and load the drivers into your bootimage from the off. Alternatively intel have a usb3 insertion tool that can simplify some of the process.
Google is your friend...

I've tried finding the specs for the MZSLW1T0 on Samsung's site. Nothing comes up. Is this the right model number?

Edit - you might have the wrong model number - see here: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-P-.../3315073#M59000
Sounds like it's a PM961 enterprise drive - which Samsung do not list on their site.

Thanks for your response. The BIOS named the drive Samsung MZSLW1T0HMLH-000L1.

You are right, my first step was putting USB3.0 drivers into my Win7-USB drive. Then i could boot
my Win7 installation usb-drive. But the NVMe SSD drive was not found. So i can´t install Win7.
Do you have a idea?

@ik9000 Hey, I received my XG3 and did actually manage to install the driver from OCZ's website. Here are the steps I took to do it:

1. Place the files from the x64 folder in OCZ's driver package into a separate folder on your desktop:


2. Go to storage controllers in device manager and select the 'Standard NVME Express Controller', right click it and select 'Update Driver Software...':


3. Select 'Browse my computer for driver software', then click 'Browse...':


4. Navigate to your desktop and select the folder containing the x64 driver and select 'OK':


5. Click 'Next' and it should successfully install the driver software, naming the drive 'XG3' in the device manager:

Hi Fernando, thank you for all that you have done, but I have a question concerning new NVMe drives coming out from Lite-On.

I have this card: http://www.liteonssd.com/pcie-ssd/item/c...CX2-SERIES.html , specifically the 256GB model.

I seem to be unable to install to this drive on Windows 7 as the installer cannot see the drive. I tried injecting the OCZ driver, Intel driver, Samsung driver, and the Micron driver listed here without any luck. I've tried searching on the internet for the driver, but I haven't had any luck on finding one; though I haven't contacted Lite-On directly, yet. The drive came with a new Dell Optiplex 7040 with Windows 7 pre-installed on it (but I'm trying to reimage it to an image I premade), so Dell switched suppliers from Samsung to LiteOn for their NVMe M.2 drives recently. Is there a way I can pull the driver from the current Windows 7 install? I checked and tried the RST drivers that were already prepackaged into the computer that sat on the C: drive, but no luck.

As default, the computer boots with Legacy mode. When Dell was using the Samsung NVMe drives, I was able to boot with legacy mode into the windows installer, inject the samsung nvme drive, then the installer could see the drive, then I could continue on.

What I can try to do is to modify the 64bit Win10 in-box MS NVMe driver for being used with Windows 7. Do you want to try it?

Hi, I want to request Toshiba XG4 NVMe driver for windows 7 64bit, the XG3 driver does NOT work with the SSD and Toshiba seems have not updated the driver yet. Thanks in advance!

Model name is :THNSN5256GPUK.

Edit:
OK, I will give a try even though the other member had failed ;)
BTW my laptop come from Dell, too. Of course I've contacted the service center for the driver but they just give the IRST F6 driver link that didn't work at all. I also encountered similar issue with other NVMe SSD SK Hynix PC300 and it still has no driver anyway. :/

The requested mod+signed MS NVMe driver (inclusive the Certificate of the Digital Signature) is attached.
Don't forget to report the result of your test.

If you don't want to run Win10, which natively supports NVMe, you may try to integrate the mod+signed Win10 in-box NVMe driver, which I have attached to my previous post, into the Win7 ISO file.
