Hi. I have ASUS ROG G771JW. I bought a 128GB SSD Intel 600p NVME. And the drive is not visible in the Boot in UEFI BIOS.
I'm trying to edit the BIOS on the instructions, but the error appears "file size exceeds the volume size".
Can anyone help or may have already modified BIOS with support NVME?

@JakkFrosted:
...Nevertheless there are 2 different options for you to use an NVMe SSD as system drive:
a) Buy an NVMe SSD like the Intel 750 or the Samsung 950 Pro, which have an on-board LEGACY mode NVMe Option ROM...

I want to try this option, but I don't see how. I have the Intel SSD toolbox installed, but there is no option to enable legacy mode. Perhaps it's something very simple I'm overlooking, but I drawing blanks here.

This space problem can only be solved by removing another (not used or less important) BIOS modulle.
Due to the risks to get a bricked laptop while trying to flash a modded BIOS I recommend to use >this< method instead.

@JakkFrosted:
If you want to get the "LEGACY mode" Option ROM module of your SSD used while booting into the OS, you have to enter the BIOS of your mainboard and to do the related settings within the "BOOT" section. A tool like Intel's SSD Toolbox has no access to the boot procedure of your system.

Although I haven't tested it myself, I am pretty sure, that it will work as well.

You probably wll not get an answer, because
a) there are not so many users with a Gigabyte AMD 990X chipset system, who have tried to get an NVMe SSD bootable and
b) even if there are any, they probably will not read your post.
So I want to encourage you to try it yourself. The risks to brick your AMD chipset mainboard by inserting the NvmExpressDxE_2 module are are not higher than doing the same with an Intel chipset (and not even 1 single user with an Intel chipset system has yet reported about an unusable mainboard after having flashed the modded BIOS).
Please read the start post carefully and follow the tips, which are given there.
Good luck!

I cloned the Master HD with Samsung tools and made a reboot entering in advanced BIOS setting, but in the boot options I cannot see the SSD drive listed.
You will never see the NVMe SSD listed within the BOOT section of the BIOS or within the Boot Manager. What you may see is the "Windows Boot Manager". Simple reason: You can only boot off the NVMe SSD in UEFI mode.
Please re-read the start post of this thread carefully.

Thank you very much! My partion was in MBR

Now the boot from my 960 is fine, partitioning the system in GPT and installing from scratch Win 10.
I'm still in search of a migration utility from my old Hard drive to the new SSD. AOMEI says to do this, but at pre boot gives unreal sectors errors on the source disk.
Many thanks again.

I am using a H81m-p33 with BIOS American Megatrends Inc. V1.9. There is no CSMCORE.

Please attach the BIOS (as ZIP or RAR archive) and I will do a look into it.

That is not true. You should have looked into the BIOS more carefully.
Here is the CSMCORE module within your linked mainboard BIOS:

to make sure, that your system will be able to boot in UEFI mode.

How can this step be performed?

@seize21:
Please read the start post carefuly and write, what you want to know, but stop quoting something taken out of context (without even mentioning the source).
Since you obviously were not even able to find a module (here: CSMCORE), which definitively is present within your mainboard BIOS, it is not easy to help you. I am not willing to waste my time for such sort of support.
