Hi!
I'm new to this forum and appriciate all the help I can get!
I am trying to get my MB Z87X-UD5H get to boot from a new Samsung 980 Pro M2 via PCIe adapter.
I have updated BIOS to the latest official (Beta 10e), and the disk is recogonised by BIOS and Windows, so I have cloned my OS and been able to check performance on disk etc.
But I can't boot from it.
If I select my M2 disk as Boot disk 1 it just skips that disk and boots from the next Boot disk.
I am using multiboot so I can boot from different win 10 installations.
So even though the disk is recognised by BIOS and Windows, it doesn't seem to be treated as a correct boot disk!?!?
- Anyone have any idea of if this is possible and/or how to fix?
- Has anyone been able to boot from a M2 on Z87X-UDH5 using official BIOS?
- Has anyone been able to boot from a M2 on Z87X-UDH5 using modded BIOS?
I have also contacted Gigabyte support a couple of days ago, but no answer yet, so I thhought I would try this channel instead/as well.
Regards

Greetings,
This is not possible with native hardware or BIOS.
It might work with a modified BIOS, but I don't know if one exists. I think someone here did make one (can't remember if it was for the Z87 or Z97).
My recommendation is this. It's not worth the time or effort. Buy a board that supports the standard. The Z87 is already almost 9 yrs old.

Hi!
Thanks for the reply.
Yes, I assumed it would be kind of hard and probably overkill.
I'm planning on getting one of the new Z690 boards but thought I would give this a try while waiting for Z690 series to settle down a bit.
I think I saw a modded BIOS somewhere in another tweak forum but I guess I'll wait for the new board.

Greetings,
There was a forum member here who made custom BIOS'. Again, I just don't remember which platform with certainty. You'll be much happier and better off waiting for a Z690. Just looked at them on NewEgg. Nice looking boards and higher end components.
One thing I noticed. Looks like there is no more dual BIOS...
- 1 x 256 Mbit flash
- Use of licensed AMI UEFI BIOS
- PnP 1.0a, DMI 2.7, WfM 2.0, SM BIOS 2.7, ACPI 5.0
Kind of bummed about that.
