Thanx - worked very well on my Asus Rampage IV Formula.

So I struggled with this all day yesterday then finally had a breakthrough. NvmExpressDxE_3 module, CSM disabled, and Secure Boot disabled as instructed. My issue was my OS install USB key did not have UEFI boot, only legacy boot.

I recreated the Win10 Bootable USB media and confirmed it booted via UEFI only to a normal SSD. This was the breakthrough. So then I restarted the process, modded my BIOS, and installed the OS with a UEFI bootable USB stick and it worked perfectly. Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I am a little bit confused. I plan to upgrade to Samsung 960 pro, but what I have read

The on-board Intel SATA Controller should not been set to "RAID" mode within the BIOS.

Windows 10 did not have a problem with the Intel controller in RAID or the Asmedia controller enabled.

Hi Fernando,
Thanks for this great forum.
I have ASRock P67 Extreme4 board, non official bios 3.21A with 4.5GHz 2500K.
I still can not decide to upgrade, but my system 500GB SSD have a less and less space. I do not want to "waste" money on bigger SATA SSD,
so I'm targeting 960 EVO 1TB.
First I tried to mod my bios, with uncompressed NvmExpressDxE_3. I appended it after last dxe module.
I noticed that there was no enough free space in the volume, but UEFItool doesn't report any error. After bios reload, module "NvmExpressDxE_3" was here,
but with some chinese symbols after it. I thought that there is something wrong. Second time I removed first some modules related to network boot,
and after module NvmExpressDxE_3 insertion, there wasn't any chinese symbols.
I flashed this bios and my computer booted normally (of course, with all settings reset). I have two questions:
1. Is there any way to check that NvmExpressDxE_3 module will load properly, when nvme drive is present?
2. Is it absolutely necessary onboard SATA controller to not be in RAID mode? I have 2 hdds in RAID1 mode.

Does the new Intel Optane 900P boot on X79 with this?

Hi All!

Hi, has anyone had a problem where the computer will not wake from sleep after making the NVMe change?

Hi everyone!

I've done everything in the Guide but still have some problems. After that modification I can see a new option in the boot section and it has weird name: "PATA SS". But it cant boot the OS, when you chose this device it shows «Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key»

I've tried to put nvme driver in different places in the bios, different versions of the nvme driver and still cant do anything. Any guesses?

@Isichip
Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum. The “PATA SS” in the BIOS only confirms that your BIOS mod was successful, and that it has detected the NVMe drive. At this point you need to make sure that your NVMe drive is the only drive (SSD or hard drive) connected to your computer, and use the USB install media to install your OS (created using Rufus with "GPT partition scheme for UEFI" and "FAT32" file system).

After successfully installing the OS you should have “Windows Boot Manager” as a boot option in the BIOS (and the boot manager menu). Select it as your bootable drive. After having successfully booted into your OS, you can shutdown and reconnect any disconnected drives.

If you’re installing Windows 10 the process is fairly easy. Installing Windows 7 can be complicated.
