I tried everything to download the .rar files (begining of Forum) and they are not .rar files or corrupted. Can somebody tell me how the get the NvmExpressDxe_4.rar and the UEFITool_v0.26.0.rar?
I have an ASUS R4BE and now wanted to try the "boot form PCIe" with an m.2 adapter that fits on the PCIe. My bios is 0701 and didn't want to go to 0801 since I won't be able to go back, so I have read.
I was interested in doing this several years ago and never did. Now, the M.2 is more affordable and want to see if I can do it first before I buy.
Can someone help or is it me and downloading the wrong file?
Thanks in advance.

I just tried the download links you mentioned (and the mirror for each one) and they all download and work without issues.

oops. I have been reading all day so at my age, the eyes are done, sorry

@Fernando
Finally my adapter is in! I tried your bios mod and all I get is "Alert hard drive not found" I can get it to boot if I have a usb boot disk and then point at the nvme drive. But it will not boot from the device itself after I remove all drives except for the nvme on the adapter. I guess it could be the adapter. :(
The bios information says mass storage controller in the pcie devices. Nothing shows up under drives.

This is a optiplex 7010 chipset Q77 everything else is pretty normal and operating, even AMT! which I also like.

@Fernando
I flashed it with the service mode jumper in place. Booted from a prepared usb stick, with the commands fpt -f filename.bin and rebooted with fpt -greset just in case. I received no error messages. Did I miss something in the posts. I do not have a device named pata in the bootable devices. Sorry just woke up a few hours ago

I will reread the posts again. Done

How did you flash the modded BIOS and what makes you so sure, that the flashing procedure was successful? fpt -f mod_bios.bin flashing sucessfull
Do you see a device named "PATA" within the list of the bootable devices? No
Which BIOS settings have you done to allow booting in UEFI mode? Enabled UEFI booting only, no legacy although tried both.
Install Win10 in UEFI mode onto it. Done tried three times, but I still don't see pata boot device.

I'm happy new user of Samsung 960 EVO 1TB. My mobo is P67 Extreme4. BIOS version 3.21a. My system now booting lighting fast. After power on, it takes few seconds to speed up the fans and HDDs and just after another 2-3 seconds I see the desktop.

@Fernando update I have it working sort of. I think my adapter blows. I put the service jumper back on and it worked!. Removed the service jumper it stopped working "hard disk not found" My new work around is to install spinning drive to slow the boot process. Works everytime until I find a better adapter or least what everyone else is using.

Thanks for all the help,

In the boot menu after preflusing with the modified bios, a PATA device appears:
At Storage Configuration, I chose AHCI mode.
When trying to install windows
The drivers for my nvme m.2 ssd are integrated into the windows distribution
The message comes out that your bios does not recognize your device.
CSM is Enabled

I obviously do not do the right thing!
Okay now I'll send you a link to the original bios .
