P.S. Should I be able to see NVMe driver and/or SSD device in UEFI command line shell?

The BIOS flash with moded rom file went without a problem.

What makes you sure, that the modded BIOS has been successfully been flashed into the MB's BIOS chip?

I can't see PATA disk drive, but this particular BIOS only have SATA listing sub-section.

The name "PATA" should be seen within the BOOT section of the BIOS, when you let the BIOS show all available bootable HDDs/SSDs.

I have done the mod BIOS as per the instructions provided but when I try to update the BIOS in EZ Update I get the following message 'The model of the BIOS image doesn't match the BIOS ROM currently present'. I have tried the USB flash but light comes on and nothing happens. I have checked the BIOS file name 'M6H.CAP'

MB is Asus Maximus VI Hero and connected Samsung 970 EVO via Silverstone dual M.2 to pci-e x4 card (installed for PCIe). Current BIOS version installed is 1603 release date 15/08/2014. Windows 10 OS and drive has been configured and formatted.

Can you please help and if anyone has done the modded BIOS for this MB would you be able to upload it.

@iraqiwarrior:
Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum!
You cannot flash a modded UEFI BIOS by using the in-box EZ Update tool. You have to use the ASUS USB Flashback feature.
Maybe >this< discussion will help you. You should use a small sized USB 2.0 Flash Drive and format it by using the FAT32 file system.
Good luck!

BIOS recovery picked up the only ROM file from USB stick, then went through the flashing dialog, and gave success message.
I checked that NvmExpressDxE_4 is listed under 'drivers' in UEFI shell.

@tedjhn:
If the flashing of the modded BIOS was successful, you should be able to get Win10 installed onto the NVMe SSD and to boot off it in UEFI mode.

@nofearek9:
AFAIK only the Samsung 950 Pro contains an NVMe Option ROM, which allows booting off this specific NVMe SSD in LEGACY mode.

Hi,

thanks for the great guide. I'm looking forward to test this with my Gigabyte Z87X-D3H
I just modded the BIOS file, but I'm not sure if I inserted the nvme module in the correct place.

Zitat
scroll down to the undermost module, which is listed within the DXE Volume and has a GUID

What if there is one additional DXE driver module below the Volume? I guess I have to insert the nvme module below the last dxe driver module, right?

Probably, it's easier with pictures ;)
Original BIOS File

How I modded it:

Are there any other successful reports of flashed Gigabyte Mainboards?
Is it necessary to use the modded efiflash from here?

@razer0794:
Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum!

Obviously the BIOS of your specific mainboard has 2 DXE Driver Volumes.
You have to insert the NVMe module into the upper one, which contains the module named CSMCORE.
This means, that you should insert the NvmExpressDxe_4.ffs after the undermost listed DXE Driver of the upper Volume, which is in your case the module named "CspLibDxe".

This is only required, if you should get the message "Invalid BIOS image" while trying to flash the modded BIOS the normal way.

Good luck!

According to my knowledge the latest 7-Zip versions 18xx are able to unzip archives, which have been created by using WinRAR v5.xx.

I feel that there might be something funky with that HP Z drive M.2 to PCIe x4 adapter I'm trying to use. I tested it in several PCs and it is only recognized by Windows 10 on HP PC. I tested M.2 modules themselves in m.2 slots and they seems to be ok. The adapter has a bunch of undocumented jumpers and I wonder if there's some sort of proprietary handshake going on.

Could anyone recommend me a reliable M.2 type M to PCIe x4 adapter card?
