Cheers Fernando,

Thank you for your guide, it worked perfectly with an MSI 970-G43 mainboard and a 960 Evo installed at a PCI-E adapter.

But I made one little mistake. I installed the SSD at the PCI-E x16 Bus and the Graficcard at the PCI-E x4.

Now my question. Can I simply unplug and change the devices? Is the Bios able to recognize the SSD on the new port?
Or do I have 2 flash the Bios again?

And when I would have to flash the bios again, do I need to install win10 again on the SSD?

Thanks for your help.

Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum and congratulations for having succeeded to get the NVMe SSD bootable.

Yep, worked well :D
Thanks!!!

Hello All!

I have been following this for a bit, looking to see if it has been pulled of to get NVMe bootable using a PCI Adapter for my Asus Maximus VI Hero Z87 board.
I have all the components, A Samsung 960 Evo and a Silverstone ECM20 Adaptor.
Windows 10 can see the drive and make it usable. But My bios obviously does not.

Is there an update, a modded bios or a method to get my M6H board to see the adapter/m.2 as bootable? Thanks a lot for any replies!

This is the module extracted from Asus Z170 Deluxe latest bios: how to check if it's newer?

Hi
I use a ASUS P9X79 Pro and want to integrate a WD NVMe PCIe
First I tested with the CAP file of mak387 - thanks for providing.
But it don't work for me.
Again I modded by myself the lastest BIOS 4801 with the actual NvmExpressDxe_3.ffs
Also the same - it will not work.
The Windows Setup find the M2 drive but say "not suitable for installing, because not bootable"
In the BIOS I cannot find the drive anyway.

Do anyone have any idea?

Did you really have read and followed exactly my guide (e.g. by disabling the "Secure Boot" and "Fast Boot" options within the BIOS and booting in UEFI mode)?
If you want to get your modded BIOS checked, just compress it as *.ZIP or *.RAR file and attach it.
Do you see within the BIOS a Disk Drive named "PATA SS"?
How and with which tool did you prepare the bootable USB Flash drive containing the desired OS image?
Which OS do you want to get installed onto the NVMe SSD?

I was looking to see if there was already an upload but this is fine.

This lad claims that the Asus adapter got the job done, no modded bios on his M6H.

I have checked your modded BIOS - it looks fine.
Good luck!

I was very surprised to find my motherboard recently got a beta BIOS v 3.40b published with the following comment:
1.Enhance M.2 compatibility when using a PCIe to M.2 adapter.
I wonder if it still requires modification. http://asrock.pc.cdn.bitgravity.com/BIOS...4(3.40B)ROM.zip
I am very impressed that Asrock is still updating the BIOS after this many years. That encourages me to make sure I buy Asrock again when I do upgrade.
