H370-HD3 i7-9700 Samsung 970EVO NVMe Boot Problem

(1/4) > >>

451:
This is my first post, so I would like first of all to greet everyone  :)

A few days ago I assembled a computer with the indicated components:
Gigabyte H370-HD3, Intel i7-9700, Samsung 970EVO NVMe
I have prepared a USB key to install Windows 10 using the Rufus tool.
In the BIOS I set "CMS disabled" and the installation started.
At the first reboot, however, Windows did not start and I entered the BIOS automatically, because the BIOS does not see the SSD disk.
More precisely:
- if CMS is enabled, I see the SSD disk, but it is not indicated with the UEFI prefix
- if CMS is disabled, the SSD disk does not appear between the boot devices.

I also tried to manually create partitions on the SSD disk with the "diskpart" utility (System, MBR, Windows and Recovery), but it does not start anyway.
The disk is partitioned with the GPT mode.
I tried to install Windows also using "Windows Media Creation Tool", but the result does not change.
I disconnected all unnecessary peripherals, leaving only MB, CPU, RAM, SSD and integrated VGA.
The BIOS is updated to F14 version.

The installation on a Seagate SATA disk instead is successful and Windows 10 works well.
Is there anyone who can give me some suggestions?
Thank you very much
Francesco

Greetings,
I recommend you stick with the Media Creation Tool.  You don't need Rufus or have to do anything special.  You also get 1903 without needing to update.

The BIOS feature is actually called CSM. 

Your specific issue has to do with BIOS settings and how you are partitioning the disk.

Shift+F10 is the command you use to open a command line utility during windows install.  Since your install has failed multiple time, you should use it to delete all partitions and formatting you created previously.

shift+F10 to open the command prompt

Commands:  press enter after each

diskpart
list disk
select disk 0
clean
convert gpt

Then type exit, press enter
 
Now select the target disk and press Next to continue the install.  Build 1903 will actually do GPT for you, but it never hurts to be sure and the above means you start with a clean slate.

Your BIOS settings are a different story.  I'll review your manual tonight and provide the correct settings (have to leave for work now).

You are close.  Won't be too hard to solve.  :)

Thanks Shadowsports for the answer  :)
I'll do as you said, using diskpartition to clean the disk and Media Creation Tool.
I await your advice on how to set up the BIOS.
I had disabled the CSM, but I don't know how to set the items of the "Secure Boot" sub-menu
If instead I leave CSM enabled, several more options appear that I don't know how to set. :-\

Right.  Sorry,  forgot I had dinner obligations with family last night.  Will get your recommended BIOS setting today.  Thanks for your patience.
