Motherboard Boot from a NVME drive with a Q87 chipset

[aquelito]

Hi there,

I am having a hard time booting from a NVME drive using a G3258 on an Asus Q87T/CSM board, using a Delock riser.

I can install Windows juste fine but then I cannot get Windows to boot.
I get the following error message :


I've tried all possible options under the CSM options tab.

Bios has been updated to the latest version :


Any ideas ?

@GuilleAcoustic ?

If I remember correctly, booting from PCIe is only supported starting with Z97 chipset.

You'll Prolly need a custom BIOS for that

Custom BIOS is the correct answer - Only a few motherboards supported booting from this, the rest only attached in Windows.

There were folks adding PCIe boot to boards which didn't have it baked into the UEFI - Some Asrock boards did get it, the rest were aftermarket (if at all).

OK thanks a lot for your confirmation.

SATA it is then.
The goal here is to just to have a M.2 SSD. It does not really matter whether it is SATA or NVME.

You can get a SATA riser for M.2 key B SATA SSD that just uses power from PCIE, then connects to regular low-profile SATA cable used one in a Z77 build a while back.
