SSD;PM961(256GB)
Recently, I bought a PM961 256GBand ECM22. I connected them to my motherboard (MB: ASUS P8H77-M)and i can see this ssd in win7 disk management tool. i was wondering i can install win7 on ssd.
Then i faced the issue that win7 dont have native nvme driver to recognized my ssd, thus i cant install my win7 on it.
i started looking for answer. and i tried like 3 different types of win7 ( 2 vers do see the ssd but cant be installed, error stated the controller of this disk bababa)
then i think maybe the problem was not about the native support of window, maybe my mb bios do not support nvme ssd

i searhed Google and find this wonderful posts. thanks Fernando's turtorial and things became easier.
however,i tried modified the bios with nvme modules. i cant flash it into my MB
the ez flash 2 tools in bios have secrity verfication. and modded bios(.cap) will fail it.
i searched google and i find the another post by Fernando (LINK:[Guide] How to flash a modded ASUS/ASRock/Gigabyte AMI UEFI BIOS)
i checked the user manual of P8H77-M and it do not contain flashback function. instead, it contains crashfree bio 3 function.
in this case, i could crash bios in purpose to use this function to flash a modded bios which i dont know whether it is work. and if it failed, do crashfree bio 3 still exsist and able to help me flash the original bios?

another way to bypass the security lock is AFUDOS (https://ami.com/en/resources/resource-li...15&type=related)
unfortunately, i am quite a newbie to these operations so i failed to follow this method. i tried to type those command in another PC with all files in same directory and .cap files seems not supported by AFUwinx64.exe. i dont know what mistake i made in this method.
i am still trying to make pm961 as a bootable disk, and clovers method is the last moethod i would try.
i am getting tired to all these procedures, perhaps i would install win7 on HDD even i have an ssd and i cant benefit from it until i buy a new motherboard.
finally, no matter whether i succeed, i truly appreciate all authors of these tutorials.

after bios flash, there was no PATA drive, none under UEFI

This is a critical find, because it indicates, that the modded BIOS may not have been successfully flashed into the BIOS chip of your HP device.
Unfortunately I don't have any knowledge about how to circumvent HP's security features to prevent the flash of a modified BIOS. So you should do a Google search for reports of other HP system users, who succeeded with this task.

@turbo01:
Ever figure out how to bipass your security? I would advise you talk to Coderush or Plutmaniac. They know they're stuff pretty good.

@amtun13892:
What slot on what motherboard are you running that drive?
Bet you don't have enough lanes allocated. Go into HWInfo64 and look at the detail on the right for that drive and report back how many Gbps and lanes its running at?

Fernando, thanks for the fantastic write-up on how to add in NVMe SSD functionanity into X79! I am in the process of helping to repurpose my father's X79 former workstation into a gaming PC for my younger brother.
So far so good - I am pleased to be typing from that computer, booted from a 960 EVO installed in one of the PCIE slots of the computer's X79-UP4!

However, a lot of things seem sluggish, and benchmarks seem to reflect that. There is some extremely slow non-sequential performance going on with this thing, as the screenshot makes clear.
Any ideas what I may be missing here? I believe I followed your guide along pretty darn well, the drive shows up as NVMe (NVMe storage controller in Device Manager), just slow as dirt.

Hello guys! Can you check my DXE Driver insertion is correct?

Hello! I have a motherboard GA-F2A85X-UP4 (AMD processors) (rev. 1.0), there is a Samsung NVMe SSD 960 EVO, an adapter Jeyi sk9 Pro M.2 (https://ru.aliexpress.com/item/JEYI-SK9-...2766419542.html). Bios does not see my Samsung Nvme ...
I managed to install Winds 10 on it, the way to "Create a bootable, FAT32 formatted USB Flash drive" using the tool Rufus (important: select the UEFI mode partition table = GPT) "But the bios can not see the SSD and the Windows not loaded.....
Thank you!!!

I have an AMD processor ... I risk something to spoil ...
This is the original Bios http://uk.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-F2...v-10#support-dl
If you try to create a modified Bios with the support of NVMe Samsung 960 Evo, I will try to put it and test it. I will be very grateful!

Is that wrong place for nvme module? (in attachment)

So you will have to remove a BIOS module from the related Volume 01 to get the required space for the insertion of the NVMe module.

I haven't understood it. What is "BIOS module"? Please explain what to do next?
