Title: Z170X Gaming 5 Won't See ODD's
Post by: igadget79 on March 26, 2016, 10:10:57 pm

I have managed to get my OS (Windows 10 Pro) installed on my M.2 card via USB (with standard Bios config) as my optical drives do not appear in the Bios or the OS.  This is driving me nuts  >:(  Please help....

What slot do you have the M2 in? If you have it in the slot near the CPU you lose sata ports. You have to put in the other slot to get all your sata ports.

Hi That is great thanks :D

I have installed my OS (Windows 10) can I just move the M2 to the other slot and it will be fine and just boot from there in future?
