Yes the BIOS should detect the Transcend SSD, but will not show it with the name "PATA".

@RYZON:
Why connect sata to psi? Maybe the problem is this? Connect your Transcend SSD to the SATA port, then check.

@s1me - did you dump BIOS and then modify it first, then try to flash with FPT? If yes, OK. You may still have two options, first the easy one >>> put system to sleep (S3) for one minute, then resume and try to again flash via FPT.
If you still get error 280, then make a DOS Bootable USB, and run this program from DOS (Try prr2 first, then if no luck try prr) - http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fil...225703698819217 (here's how to make bootable DOS USB if you are not sure, follow steps 1-4)
Then after you run PRR/PRR2, boot to windows, try to FPT flash again. If that fails, I can remove this lock, but only in BIOS you would have to put on by programmer or other AFU mod method.
And, when using FPT, always be sure you are running from an Admin command prompt. Select folder that contains FPTw.exe, hold shift and press right click, choose open command window here (Not power shell)

Did you already try this exact AFU method, check this guide download the attached files, but only pay attention to the flash mod BIOS method using AFU in last spoiler (Basically, you flash stock BIOS in normal manner in windows, then without reboot flash your mod BIOS (normal one, not FPT Dump modified)
https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/592...r-motherboards/

If that AFU Fails, try both of these versions (included cmd line utility and GUI version), try V5 first and then V4 last. You're BIOS is V4 type, but this V5 may work for you
If you find one that opens and works, make a backup first as test functionality. Then, use the same method as above, flash stock BIOS first then without reboot flash your mod BIOS.
With all AFU Methods, use your normal Asus downloaded UBU modified stock BIOS file, not the FPT created dump (only use that with FPT)

Hey guys, I managed to confirm successful flash of modded bios via ntfs formatted stick for Asus P8Z77-V mbo. Still don't have NVME ssd, but reading your posts it occurred to me I could do a bios dump with AFU and check it for NVME support files. Saved bios dump it and loaded into MMTool. NvmExpressDxe_4 is present in the bios. See attached screenshot.

The UBU tool should also detect the presence of the NVMe module just before to display the Main Menu.

Thank you.
I must admit I'm confused now. Here are screenshots from UBU, before main manu and main menu, can't see NVMe.
Never worked with UBU before, just ran it and can't see anything regarding NVMe. Mind, you, I don't have NVME ssd connected yet, this is all from bios dumped after modding it and flashing to mbo.
Now I'm even more confused, I loaded bios dump into UEFITool 0.26 and also can see NvmeExpress_Dxe_4 there. Screenshot attached.
So both recommended tools (MMTool And UEFITool) for bios modding in guide from this thread show NVMe module succesfully inserted into bios, but UBU doesn't?

@Fernando
Thank you!
Do you think it's only a detection problem with UBU for some reason, or you suspect there is something more I should do with bios and flash again?
I've followed guide for modding to the letter, and it was really easy and went without a hitch due to excellent instructions.

Here it is. I saved it with AFUWinx64.
I tested it with UBU at work, on different PC, I didn't have time to do it at home on PC with that mbo. But I don't think it should matter on what machine I'm analysing it with tool.
Thank you in advance

thanks @Fernando and @ivanvalerich for the reply but my board (msi z87 m power) dont have M.2 ports, only have sata and msata port, so i am using this transcend ssd only to test if works because if works i will buy a nvme ssd, and this transcend ssd have windows 10 installed and i boot in other disk and the Windows Disk Management dont show it, so i dont understand, my pci ports dont detect ssd's? only graphic cards?
