@aris.ahnaf:
Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum!
I have done a look into your modded BIOS. The insertion of the NVMe module has been perfectly done!
Good luck!

Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum!
I have moved your post into this better matching thread.
Zitat von paranoid_android im Beitrag #3747The BIOS obviously doesn't exacty know where the detected disk drive is connected and gave it the name "PATA SS".
In Setup I can identify the SSD, as it is the only entry in the boot devices section. It is identified as "PATA SS".
If I don't interrupt POST, the system tries to boot from the SSD.
Anyway, there is no OS present on it, so therefore there's nothing to boot, but the System behaves like with any other legitimate Drive or volume which has no OS.
That all seems okay, but my first question is: Is this the way the SSD should be recognized by the BIOS? As some sort of PATA/ATAPI Device?
It would be interesting to see what happens, when you disable the on-board Intel SATA Controller (or all SATA ports) within the BIOS.
Zitat von paranoid_android im Beitrag #3747It has no negative effect on the performance of the SSD and you can ignore it.
Does this have any negative effect on the performance of the SSD, or is it just a case of bad labeling and can be ignored?
Good luck with the OS installation onto your NVMe SSD!
Regards
Dieter (alias Fernando)
@Fernando:
Thanks for your help! And for the Bios patch guides anyway!
Maybe this message or identification of the SSD is related to having the CSM activated.
I have more questions about that subject...
First, I noticed that I cannot dl the hotfix for NVME integration into Windows 7 from Microsoft anymore.
Is there any other resource where I can get it from?
Zitat von paranoid_android im Beitrag #3750Yes, I can attach the related MS Hotfix, if you tell me, which Win7 OS architecture you are using (32bit or 64bit).

Hi! Fernando
I pasted the NVMe subroutine after Project DXE, as you did say and I flashbacked in to the Motherboard.
The end result is not good.
Please, if you have time. look at the two pictures and if you have any idea,plesce tel me.
I don't understand why she created the subroutine implementation one "Pata"
old controller.
Best regards!
EDIT: I Have Win 10 Prox64
@whiteflash:
What is your problem?
Unplug all HDDs/SSDs except the NVMe SSD and boot in UEFI mode off the USB Flash Drive, which contains the image of the desired Win10 Edition.
Hi!
It's OK & THX
I know how to install the operating system
You see the two BIOS image?
Not the NVMe is in BIOS this PATA SM:
The Bios does not see the PCIe Adapter with M2 NVMe.
Windows does not allow the installation because it does not see NVME in the BIOS.
@whiteflash,
Apparently you don't know how to install the operating system, or you wouldn't be asking questions that can be easily answered by reading and following Fernando's guide. Posting upside down images doesn't help either. Do yourself and Fernando a favor and go back and read the guide (page 1).
@Fernando
It's Win 7 64Bit.
I got myself a 950PRO.
@whiteflash:
You have to boot off the USB Flash Drive, which contains the desired OS image, in UEFI mode.
@paranoid_android:
The MS NVMe Hotfix for Windows 7 x64 is attached.

What is your problem/question?
Hello,
sorry, I'm new here.
I have an ASUS ROG G751JY Gaming Notebook with an M.2 Harddisk that cames with the Notebook. I've found the following guide to do this:
https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.ph...de-Step-by-Step
This Guide describes the modding process for bios 211 (latest version for this notebook) with the NvmExpressDxe_3.ffs.
Fernando from this forum has described another way (other tools and NvmExpressDxe_4.ffs) to make the full speed support for older bios versions possible. I have a HM87 chipset on board.
Does anyone knows whether I can update my Bios with the guide from the Asus forum, but with NvmExpressDxe_4.ffs instead of NvmExpressDxe_3.ffs?
What are the differences between NvmExpressDxe_3.ffs and NvmExpressDxe_4.ffs?
Or can I use even a newer DXE file because the guide is a little bit older and where can I get the newer dxe driver for bios integration?
I plan to updrade my OS to Windows 10 Pro and want to replace the actual M.2 with an Samsung EVO 970 M.2.
I hope someone of you can help me.
Cheers
Bernd
Even though the nvme module has been inserted in the bios of my P67, i still cannot install windows on the XG5 ssd, the windows installer says the device might not be bootable and refuses to advance. So i got myself a 950 PRO which actually has the same speeds as the XG5.

Hello Bernd,
welcome to the Win-RAID Forum!
Zitat von hellwarrior im Beitrag #3759Theoretically yes, but I recommend to follow the guide, which is layed down within the start post of this thread. The ASUS Forum member chris_tronic has neither developed the method nor updated the guide. He obviously doesn't support his guide anymore.

Zitat von hellwarrior im Beitrag #3759The NvmExpressDxe_4.ffs is newer (that means: offers support of the latest NVMe SSDs) and smaller sized (that means: needs much less space within the DXE Volume of the BIOS).
What are the differences between NvmExpressDxe_3.ffs and NvmExpressDxe_4.ffs?
Zitat von hellwarrior im Beitrag #3759The download links are within the start post of this thread.
where can I get the newer dxe driver for bios integration?
Good luck!

@MARSTG:
There was no need to buy the Samsung 950 Pro SSD.
Zitat von MARSTG im Beitrag #3760This indicates, that you didn't follow my guide. I suspect, that you either didn't get the modded BIOS correctly flashed or forgot to disable the "Secure Boot" option.

Thank you @Fernando
I have tried boot files. NvmExpressDxe_3.ffs and NvmExpressDxe_4.ffs.
Both integrations without errors and it seems that the Asus bios have no problems with the newer driver NvmExpressDxe_4.ffs. I've got no message that the driver is too big for my bios.
Is it possible to restore the asus bios if the update with the modded bios doesn't work?
Cheers
Bernd
