Win 10 Pro install on NVME PCIE drive: My nightmare
My respects masters,
I would need your support to exit from an installation nightmare. The original idea is quite simple, install win 10 Pro on a fresh SFF build with only 1 NVME PCIE Drive in it.
Mobo: Asus Rog Strix Z-490-I with latest BIOS version installed
Drive: Samsung 980 Pro NVME PCIE installed in M.2_2 slot
USB Win10 bootable flash drive created with Microsoft tool
My issue: Windows installer is NEVER able to see the NVME drive to create the necessary partitions. I can see my flash drive but it disappears after a refresh.
The drive is always seen as a storage device in the bios.
As a NVME drive if I disable SATA controller or if if enable it and set it to ACHI
As a RAID unit if I enable SATA controller and set it to Intel RST
The drive is seen in the boot menu only if I disable CSM.
if the USB Win 10 flash drive is plugger it appears also in the boot as both UEFI and normal drive
Any suggestion is welcome,
Many thanks in advance,
Pierre
