This article describes an update to add native driver support for an installation of NVM Express (NVMe) that uses the PCI Express (PCIe) bus in Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) or Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. Some motherboards require the proper BIOS settings if you're using multiple M.2 drives, because of the limited number of PCI-E lanes available, but I don't know whether a Z690/Intel Gen 12 CPU needs that.Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard Windows Server 2008 R2 Foundation Windows 7 Service Pack 1 Windows 7 Ultimate Windows 7 Enterprise Windows 7 Professional Windows 7 Home Premium Windows 7 Home Basic Windows 7 Starter More. If it was me, I'd clear it completely using diskpart. If you clone an HD to an M.2 drive, you should get rid of the Windows installation on the HD before connecting it back to the PC while booting from the M.2 drive. I'm not sure why you're having such troubles with the drives. I used it in a slot adapter, as the board had no M.2 sockets.Īn adapter that allows you to use an M.2 drive in one of the full-sized PCI-E slots won't remove the NVME character of the M.2 drive. I needed it for a system that couldn't boot from an NVME drive. I have one, that uses only 2 PCI-E lanes, but it's old. It is hard to find a PCI-E M.2 drive that isn't NVME. NVME is basically assumed for M.2 PCI-E drives at the moment. When it states that it only supports only PCI-E drives, it means that it does not support SATA M.2 drives. Your motherboard supports NVME PCI-E 4.0 M.2 drives. Gigabyte may not have understood your previous message because of that. (snip)You seem to have a false impression.
Sorry this is so long but I'm sending it to Gigabyte because they didn't understand a previous message. I never got to try the right card in the M2A slot. That SSD boots if the data drive is NOT connected.Īs chance would have it, B&H charged me for a PCIe SSD but actually sent NVMe. AS the M2A slot is UNDER the video card, I removed the boot SDD, put it in the converter and put that into the PCIe slot opposite the video card. B&H was sending me a one T PCIe M.2 SDD and a converter for NVMe to PCIe that I had ordered before Gigabyte tech semi-support told me to upgrade. With this configuration, the data disk did not always flop into position #1 of the boot sequence.Īt this point, Thursday, I installed my video card and everything went to hell. I was able to clone the OS onto the M.2 SSD in M2A slot. I started out installing Win 10 onto an old HDD and because both OS and data were actual disks, I could access the data drive. NVMe boards Iin slots M2P_SB and M2Q_SB are NOT recognized but I don't understand these slots. I did that on Wednesday, when I got the phone call from Giga.į3 BIOS recognized a 500 Gb NVMe SSD I put into slot M2A_CPU.
The only useful tech support I got from GigaByte was to upgrade the BIOS.
"There are two types of M.2 SSDs, SATA and PCIe" This mobo only supports PCIe. When I finally read the fine print in the manual, it said. F3 came from Gigabyte and sort-of works so it can't be the wrong BIOS. Where did I get F1 for my version of the BIOS? From the BIOS screen, itself. Gigabyte provides tech support entirely at their convenience, they only work M-Th.ĭoes anybody have any suggestions or, maybe, a copy of F1? My M.2 boot drive is MVMe in a PCIe converter case and PCIe slot.
Tech support recommended BIOS upgrade which I did but the software they provided did not let me make a copy of F1 first – bad decision. This mobo with the F1 Bios ONLY supports PCIe style M2 drives. That said, a couple of times while I was trying to make this work, it didn’t revert and booted (the video card was out). Change the order to put boot first, Save & exit. #2 is Windows Boot Manager (CT500P2SSD8). When I connect my data HD spinning disk (Toshiba 3Tb) and the BIOS starts, data is listed as #1 in the boot sequence with the name UEFI OS (P2:TOSHIBA DT01ACA300).
As of Friday morning, I can boot into Windows 10 Pro ONLY if the boot drive is ALONE. Gigabyte Z690 UD DDR4 mobo purchased with CPU.
