@o_privet:
The screenshot verifies
a) that you haven't unplugged the SATA connected drives before starting the OS installation and
b) that the NVMe SSD hasn't gotten the required 100 MB sized EFI partion (the "Windows Boot Manager" is still on the SATA connected SSD!).
This configuration cannot work!

@Fernando
a) You can see SATA disks at the screenshot because I plugged it after the OS installation and the first failed reboot.
I'm 100% sure that I removed all SATA plugs on my motherboard. And these SATA disks weren't displayed in BIOS or in OS installation wizard during the process.
b) Do you think that 300 MB sized partition is not Windows Boot Manager?

Anyway, do you have any ideas how to force Windows Boot Manager installation? I'm searching for this in Google. but would glad to any help

Yes. Only the 100 MB partition with the word "EFI" within its name contains the "Windows Boot Manager".

My idea is to strictly follow my advices given within the start post of this thread.
Most important:
1. The target OS partition has to use the GUIMode Partition Table (GPT). Look here:

2. All HDDs/SSDs except the NVMe SSD has to be removed or unplugged (otherwise there is a risk, that the EFI partition of another disk drive will be used).
3. Make sure, that the 100 MB sized EFI partition has been created by the Win10 Setup onto the NVMe SSD.

Thanks to Fenando for guiding to change NVME for old systems. After many failures I finally succeeded with mainboad Asus H81M-E. Rom mod NvmExpressDxe_4. Unfortunately I don't have an M2 SSD to verify it. Hope Fenando will check it out for me. Sincerely thank you

@ChauHuy: Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum!
According to what I see after having opened your modded BIOS, the insertion of the NVMe module has been done correctly, but to be able to evaluate its proper function I need the original BIOS for comparison purpose.
Question: Why did you name the BIOS H81M-A_mod.rom, but have written about the ASUS mainboard named H81M-E?

@Fernando:
Thank you for responding.
Original ROM is: H81M-E-ASUS-3602.CAP. When running the Software rename it to be H81MA.CAP.
sorry Rom name to edit as I set arbitrary after I saved to the computer when I have updated the computer BIOS

EDIT by Fernando: Unneeded fully quoted post replaced by directly addressing (to save space and for better readability)

@ChauHuy: Thanks for your additional statement and the original BIOS.
The modded BIOS seems to be fine and I am very optimistic, that you will be able to boot off the NVMe SSD after its insertion by following point 4 of my "This is what you should do" Guide.
Good luck!

Once again, thank you very much, Fernando. I will try to find enough money to buy an NVME ssd to experience the fruits of my work. Wish you a good day.

HI ! first of all : WOW ! what a skillfull group of people here ! :D i'm glad to see / meet people that cares about "old" stuff, and extend usage of it ! nice !

here is my question, if i may : i recently built a mini rig, with my old motherboard, to test / trouble shot and datarecovery purpose. i just bought a pci-e to nvme+sata SSD adapter, but i wasn't expecting it not to work.

after several reserch i finally found that thread ! lucky me !

i managed to download the last bios, inserted the NVME support files, and force flash the MB with the new modded bios... everything seems ok, BUT, i can't boot from the nvme. i still have a bios message, saying "that bios doesn't support this boot drive, check CSM settings" wich i did, unsuccessfully.

do you have any other advice ? thanks a lot.

my MB is an ASUS P8H77-I with the last bios available v1102

@-THC-Khorne: Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum!
To be able to help you I need the following information:
1. Did you really read and carefully follow my guide (= start post of this thread)?
2. Which specific "NVMe support files" did you insert into the BIOS?
3. What makes you so sure, that the modded BIOS has been successfully flashed? Is there a device named "PATA" listed within the "BOOT" section of the BIOS?
4. How did you try to boot off the NVMe SSD und which were the related settings within the BIOS?
Furthermore it would be fine, if you give me access to the original and your modded v1102 BIOS.
Kind regards

Hello everyone,
I have a Asus G771JM and I have a problem with SSD NVMe. Bios doesn't detect my NVMe disk even though I modded the bios. I tried with different combinations but nothing worked. Could someone have a look at my Bios ori and mod? I have no idea what could be wrong. I include a Bios in attachment

@Dziubek: Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum!
The NVMe module has been inserted into the correct location, but unfortunately the used BIOS Tool has created a Pad-file, which is natively not within the BIOS.
Here are the related pictures, which show the difference between the original BIOS (left Pic) and the modded BIOS (right Pic):

Questions:
1. Which BIOS modding tool did you use?
2. How did you flash the modded BIOS?
3. Are you sure, that the flashing procedure was successful (a failure would have been better in this case)?

Regards
Dieter (alias Fernando)

Update:
This is the related picture I got after having inserted the "small sized" variant of the NVMe module by using the AMI MMTool v4.50 (there was not enough space for the bigger sized one):

@Fernando thank you for your fast response.

1. I used UEFITool to mod the bios.
2. I flashed the bios using AfuDos.
3. Yes because after I flashed MOD.ROM I downloaded this bios using AfuDos and checked this bios in UEFITool and I got information that the bios has line with nvmExpressDxe 4.

@Dziubek: Have you seen the "Update" within my last post?
I recommend to flash the original BIOS before you are going to flash the correctly modded BIOS.

@Fernando,
Yes I can see it now but I don't know what it gives us. I also tried to change with MMtool but the information appeared "file size exceeds the volume size".
Do you think that this "small size" will be correct?
