There is a boot loader called Ozmosis that you flash into the rom bios chip. Assuming you also include the Clover NVME Express driver in bios it may be possible to boot to a boot menu with the Intel 750 Selected. That is if installing Ozmosis doesn't brick the main board.

Have you seen >this< thread?

SUCCESS!!!!

I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO BOOT THE INTEL 750 WITHOUT BOOTLOADERS!

This is how you do it if you have an old motherboard like the P8Z68 Deluxe Gen 1. You need to use the NVME-Express Clover driver converted into FFS inserted after the appropriate motherboard NVME modules detailed in the start of the thread. I have attached the file if anyone wants to try it.

NVME-Express driver

The thanks should go to the guys at the Clover discussion forum. They helped me formulated the correct edk2 genffs commands that converted that clover efi driver to an insertable module. Even more astonishing is that you say we don't need those other three modules. Guys at Clover forum hinted that may be so. I still have them installed though. It was a great feeling when the system rebooted to the Intel 750. You'll note the efi name of the installation will be in the F8 boot menu and the hard drive model identifier name is gone. I may buy another 750 now! So cool!

Hi all,

could you please help me with my asus p8z77-pro v/thunderbird? I install intel ssd 750 in pci ex port and tried install win10 there, after installation it hang out with 0xc000000e winload.exe error on boot.
I modified bios file with mtool as 1st post in said, took nvme modules from z97, but can't flash it, I tried FTK it sais write protection error, I tried asus flashback usb and it just give 3 signals and then permanent which sais that
something is wrong, ez flash gives error with security warning, I tried ami util with /GAN option, it looks like flash something but nothing happens after, ssd still as ss pata in my bios and wan't boot. I did all of this with backup of motherboard bios and with file from asus website, nothing help. Please help.

Hi Fenando,

>2. Rename the modded BIOS according to ASUS' USB Flashback rules.
>3. Flash the modded BIOS by using the USB Flashback feature.
I tried this, also through asus flashback rename utility and all time the same, 3 signals and then permanent, seems usb flashback too check for security bios signature

@ Fernando
I can also confirm the NvmeExpressDxe.ffs module file works for me as well; WITHOUT the modules at page 1 of the post.
I just took a clean bios v2103 updated with UBU 1.43Update3 from Asus Z87-Deluxe and inserted the module via the same tool;
after the INT13 header as before.

Edit: 12/14/2015
My first impressions on performance:
The original NvmeExpressDxe-64.ffs resulted in an error in windows explorer.
However, the SoniX modded NvmeExpressDxe.ffs appears to be more stable than using the 3 modules at the start of the post.
The original NVMe bios mods resulted in the occasional reboot whilst gaming or viewing video, although relatively rare.
The single mod NvmeExpressDxe.ffs has yet to exhibit this behavior...



SUCCESS!

Edit 2: 12/15/2015

Added pics and uploaded bios zip file for those with an ASUS Z87-Deluxe board;
or for those who want to inspect and copy.

Edit 3: 12/15/2015

Added performance spec for 512 GB drive which is over 73% full as opposed to Fernandos
spec sheet which is 87% empty. My numbers are still within 4.1% with a essentially a full drive...

I'm sure I could squeeze some more micrograms of performance out by removing some junk, and further optimizing,
tweaking, which is pretty good for a first run effort.

Also ran some more gaming and video files over the that last 36 hours to proof the concept by giving it some I/O thrashing;
and the NvmeExpressDxe.ffs mod has been a model of ROCK STEADY, no flinches, no spontaneous reboots, no lockups.

Truly a valiant effort by all...take a bow!

Cheers
Hans

For special occasions attach a compressed FFS-file.

Sonix,

Was wondering what commands gave a name to the ffs file? Also wonder how you cleaned it up? I would like to know how too..

Thanks.

Hi, brand new to this, stumbled onto it trying to figure out how to make my new Samsung 950 PRO bootable on my Gigabyte GA-Z77-DS3H and it looks like you have done all of the work already.
I think I'm all set to do this, but am not sure exactly where to insert the new file in my current BIOS. I would be very grateful if you could point me in the right direction, this board does have dual BIOS, so I should be able to save it if I mess up.
Thanks to all of you for your work, and especially for sharing it with those of us with worlds less knowledge!

Quick update, I did get the latest FFS file to insert, just added it at the bottom of the old BIOS, I think I may be ready to try flashing the new BIOS, but will wait until tomorrow...

Conclusion of my own tests:
It is obviously enough to insert the NVMe module file named NvmeExpressDxe-64 into the original BIOS to get full NVMe support.
If this should be valid for all Intel 6-8 Series Chipset systems, it will be very easy to prepare an "old" Intel Chipset system for the usage of an NVMe supporting SSD.
Furthermore even those users may benefit from this method, whose mainboard BIOS has only very limited space for additional modules.
