@Fernando

Ok thanks so much,
With MMtool 4.50, I replace ProjectDXE by NvmExpressDXE ?

@Fernando , I already talked to @Lost_N_BIOS , he pointed me to your post here in the forum. I really don't know if this is right or if I'm doing it right. because the intel BIOS is different from the others.
This is my only doubt.

I understand, Alright @Fernando , you helped me anyway with your tutorial. Congratulations

@Fernando

Thanks for your help, I did as indicated, but it does not work. The NVMe is not recognized, after cloning it, at the boot there is the message "Select Proper Device ...."
And in the bios, there is just a new "entry" PATA... Normal for NVMe ?
Weird

You can flash it by spi programmer.
1.dump bios file by spi programmer.
2.mod it.
3.flash it back.
But the bios dumped by software and by spi programmer are different.And some of the mobos of INTEL has 2 bios chips,and you should success only modding one of it.
Btw,some mobos of Intel bios has erase the text,so you could not find the CSMCORE,actually you could find it by the File GUID!Because the file GUID was the same as other B85 mobos as with ASUS.

So, it's kind of difficult to mod and flash.But it's a process full of adventure!!!

@tistou77: Cloning could work if

- your Windows installation is already configured to boot in UEFI mode (if not using NVME disks with 'built in' legacy bios for [Samsung 970 pro?])

- you did install the NVME- disk prior to cloning (Windows 7: KB2990941 and thereafter kB3087873) having the NVME disk connected as an additional disk for certifying that your windows installation is able to access the NVME- disk

- you made sure the NVME driver starts at boot (registry) prior to cloning (Win10 1809: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\stornvme - Start=dword:00000000)

- you did clone all your system partitions to the new disk (including EFI and Recovery [the latter if wished for / already existent]- the Microsoft reserved partition should have been created when initializing the disk)

- you did restore your EFI- boot environment- "... Repair Broken EFI Bootloader in Windows 10, 8.1", .... Restore Deleted EFI Boot Partition in Windows 10/7 or for MBR (in case of using NVME disks with 'built in' legacy bios for [Samsung 970 pro?]) How to Rebuild BCD File in Windows 10

- For UEFI: If the last commands for rebuilding the bcd store ("bootrec /scanos" followed by "bootrec /rebuildbcd") wouldn't be able to find your system and/ or to restore your BCD store you'd have to create a new BCD store manually (similar to the procedure for MBR systems).

=> That's not impossible, but a fresh install as recommended by Fernando would be by far the easier way!

(MS 'discontinued'/ retracted KB2990941- The link 'Update available' says "This hotfix has been discontinued. Instead, you can upgrade to Windows 10 and get the most up-to-date security and other features built right in." Microsoft update catalogue doesn't list it any longer, but it still can be found other places, for example Lenovo)

@lfb6

Thanks for your help, it's not for me.
I ask him ;)

He tested the NVMe on another motherboard that supports the NVMe natively and no problem (Windows 10)
The problem comes from the bios I think, and probably the PATA input (which is a standard older than the SATA)

Thanks for your help

Hi @Rafick,
I am in the same situation as you, trying to flash a modded BIOS for the lenovo S30.

I managed to insert the nvme bits into the BIOS file, but haven't been able to successfully flash it. I tried 2 methods to no avail:
1) Use the Lenovo flash procedures: https://download.lenovo.com/pccbbs/think...s/a2jy66usa.txt
2) use command parameters: afuwinx64.exe <NAME OF THE MODDED BIOS>.ROM /GAN

Can you please show me what you did?

EDIT by Fernando: Unneeded fully quoted post removed (to save space), because it didn't contain any information about the flashing of the modded BIOS

Hi, I hava a Asus Z10PE-D16 WS and bought an M.2 SSD ADATA XPG Gammix S11 Pro.

I made some tests and it do 500 mb/s at read or write processes. I though that it was arround 1500 - 3000 mb/s when I have purchased it.
I used the software of diagnosis of ADATA and it is showing it is using a PCIe Gen2 2x...


What I can do to achieve the full speed of my SSD?

@sinchross - Move it to an x8 or x16 slot
