@ProStock:
Have you checked, what "drive0" is and which size it has? Are you sure, that it belongs to the NVMe SSD?
Did you boot off the USB Flash Drive containing the desired Win10 Image in UEFI mode?
By the way: I cannot see your linked picture.

My current System:

the Drive 0 is a 1 TB Series Black NVMe from western digital and the only thing i didn't do was booting from usb win10 install for UEFI mode
instead i use the DVD of win 10 does the dvd give you UEFi capability ?

nevermind about the pic im sorry
i type the error on previous post

@ProStock:
I always recommend to create a bootable Win10 USB Flash Drive by using the tool Rufus (choosing the required UEFI and GPT settings) and boot off it in UEFI mode.
Before you start with the OS installation you have to make sure, that the option "Secure Boot" has been disabled within the BIOS. Within the BIOS of some mainboards this option is not easy to find.

you are right disable secure boot is not easy to find on a MAXIMUS VI
i think for my case i need to review that setting
Rog forum says ...
IIf you have CSM disabled and are booting to Windows, you can disable secure boot by selecting "Other OS" in the secure boot menu.

will give it a try when im back home stay tuned

Again hey thx a bunch Fernando

Zitat von Fernando im Beitrag #3022
The BIOS own "Compatibility Support Module" (= CSM) makes the BIOS compatible with devices, which are running in "LEGACY mode" by using an Option ROM instead of
modern EFI (DXE) module. Modern computers start the fastest and run best, when the "Compatible Support Module" has been disabled. It does have a big impact on the boot time
(the amount depends on the hardware components) and the system stability, but not on the performance while working.

Sorry Fernando, was wondering whats the difference between CSM enabled and disabled. I still don't understand. I have a z87 motherboard and if i turn it to disabled can i boot for a samsung 970 Pro possibly?
You said to another user that CSM can cause stability issues during boot but not during work. I've already inserted the latest EFI module you have listed.
Also am i able to choose to use a intel optane ssd 900P Optane AIC by any chance or is that something only newer boards are capable of?

If CSM has been set to DISABLED withi the BIOS, only EFI modules (and no Option ROM ones) will be be loaded while booting.

You only will be able to properly boot into your OS, if all EFI BIOS modules, which are required to be loaded while booting, are present within your currently flashed BIOS.
Example: If the BIOS should not contain a Video EFI "GopDriver" for your graphics adapter, you can boot, but will just see a black screen.

Okay, thanks. its weird but i've looked in my UEFI settings and can't find CSM feature anywhere on there. I then changed to classic mode to the old BIOS loadout and i see settings with setting things only through legacy/UEFI, both on, UEFI/Legacy only or whichever first or so on. Tried messing with some and it cause me not to be able to load my OS afterwards so i changed it back. Messed with it a bit but no problems.

Hi Fernando!
Using first page guide, I was able to modify BiOS of my GA-Z77X-UD4H (7-Series, no M.2 slot) mobo and use my installation of W7x64 with Samsung EVO960.
Works like sharm, thank you!
I would like to ask, if is also possible some-how to modify BiOS to boot from PCIEX in legacy/NonUEFI MBR mode?
I have some reasons for booting that way. But now, when I press F12 for boot override, my Samsung is detected as "PATA SS" and dont want to boot. (In UEFI mode, it is detected correctly showing full name).
Thanks for answer...

@lime:
Your last post is not easy to understand.
Can you boot off your NVMe SSD?
What is your problem?

@iX-9:
Only a very few NVMe SSDs are bootable in LEGACY mode using the MBR partition table.

Sorry, i don't have an NVMe SSD yet, i was asking questions about it the previous post before. I was just curious because i was playing with my UEFI and went to classic BIOS and went playing around to change settings and it didn't allow the SSD to show up afterwards. I've read couple posts from you all over Win-Raid and its not a problem its more of i was seeing if i can disable CSM but since i can't find it anywhere in the UEFI/classic BIOS i'm stumped. Probably best just to leave it alone till i buy a NVMe SSD. Thanks again.

@lime - On G1 Sniper M5 CSM setting is on the "BIOS Features" page/section, right under the VT-D and Win8 Features setting, see below.

You may need to select "Other OS" instead of Win8, and reboot back to see CSM option, I can't remember.
I know some option is hidden unless you select Win8 too, secure boot and maybe another too..

Please don't send PM's for help on BIOS edits, I can't help with BIOS in PM's. Please make a thread and I will try to help as soon as I can - thanks!
If you appreciate my efforts and are willing to donate to help improve my hardware, gift cards work for me (Amazn, NuEgg, eBa) - send me a PM

@lime:
Thanks for the clarification.
To be able to see the NVMe SSD within the BIOS (as "PATA_SS"), the related SSD has to be inserted into a matching PCIe slot.

Actually, with my new "GB X470 Gaming 7 WiFi" mobo I am able to boot EVO960 in Legacy/MBR mode, just turn off UEFI in BiOS! (Even with Default BIOS settings [UEFI on] - just press F12 and select Non-Efi row of 960EVO.)
So, if 960EVO is that "very few" SSD, should be legacy bootable in old system?
