@Fernando, @CodeRush

The new NVMExpress driver you had posted has an 'Unknown section type' error. I found this utilizing bios injection command line ozmtool and also UEFITool. Is this an issue or just cosmetic?

Thanks

EDIT by Fernando: Attachment removed (to avoid further irritations), because its origin and source has been clarified (see next posts)

Well at least all of the modules on your main primary first page check out. This must have been one you posted ten pages back in an incomplete state also missing its identifying name inits header. So if anyone comes accross it it should be ignored although may still work. thanks.

Hi Fernando,

Not sure if this is a good place to ask...

I got a 960 evo 500 gb. System is asus z87 sabertooth + 4770k.

1. I did the bios mod in December, using the older version I think. Does that work with 960 evo?
2. I see a drive called pata sm in bios. Does that mean the bios modification has done its work?
3. I just used samsung data migration software to clone my current system to the SSD. System is windows 10, with samsung nvme 2.1 driver installed. But when I tried to boot up from "pata sm", it always switch to use the second drive; if I disabled sata entirely (so that pata sm is the only drive), then it goes into bios. I tried a few settings in bios but so far none worked.

Is a fresh install of windows always required? But I also read from the top post that install on a sata SSD then migrate also works...

Thanks in advance!

Hey there,

I did all of this and it worked so far. Though when I want to flash the updated bios via MSI Click bios, it gives me the error that there is no bios file on the drive. I have it as a .RAR, i have it in a folder on the usb and as a file in root folder with nothing else on it. None of the way seemed to work.
Flashing itself works since i just flashed it to the latest MSI Bios to see if this would let me boot from my NVMe drive, but this didn't doo much, so I tried this guide.

Hope yu can help me

EDIT:

Did all the steps again from beginning of downloading the files etc and got it to flash. Lets hope it will work now!

@davidm71:
This is somehow irritating.
Which one of the modules, which I am offering within the start post of this thread, did you check and got the 'Unknown section type' message?

Hi Fernando,

I'm new to your forum. I am having trouble flashing my BIOS with the module that will enable NVMe support on my old AsRock X79 Extreme 6 motherboard.

Following your guide to the letter here's what I did:

Downloaded MMtool v4.5
Downloaded Current AsRock motherboard BIOS (X79E6_3.10)
Downloaded Uncompressed NvmeExpressDxE_2 module
Created folders as instructed
Opened source (motherboard BIOS) with MMtool
Noted the Volume number
Used insert process as outlined to successfully insert NVMe module
Varified above

All seemed to be perfect.

Here's the issue: Copied moded BIOS on fat32 flash drive
Entered BIOS setup and proceeded to advanced tab - selected option to instant flash
Flash located modified BIOS file and just set there - no error no nothing
Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong? I'm new to the BIOS modding thing and I've likely missed something.
Thanks!

Inserted the 'more modern' module into the latest bios and was able to boot from a 1T Samsung 960 Pro (in a PCIe Card).
Note- was unable to get a clone of Win 7 working with this but had no problems with Win 10.

@Fernando,

Been studying firmware volume structure using Coderush's UEFITool and it seems like from what I have learned is that unlike MMTool UEFITool will actually regrow the size of the main firmware volume containing all those necessary ffs files allowing more space to add more files without having to delete or compress out necessary system networking files or satadriver or any audio driver. So I strongly urge the modding community to learn how to use UEFITool and use it instead of MMTool to add your nvme files or what not. If I am wrong please someone correct me. Thank you.
