NvME as Boot device

**keithdib** · 03-03-2020 11:29 AM

Hi

I have asus rog strix b450-f board.

I have added 2 x NvME Drives.

neither of these seem to be able to be set as the BOOT Device, i have also tried the 2 NvME as a RAID again cannot boot from this.

is this normal?

if so what is the point of adding NvME on a motherboard if its not possible to boot from them?

thanks

I don't have this board but googling the details... Looks like this guy was experiencing similar issues.

I would have "NVMe Support" enabled in BIOS, even if your not using it as RAID.

so now I try to RAID SATA Drives..

Only to find out if I use RAID on SATA ALL SATA posts become RADI, no long have an option to use an optical drive

also the BIOS menu's are like a maze, you need 2 separate documents to configure a simple RAID,

Republic of Gamers, should be republic of ****ing idiots..

I WILL NEVER buy any ASUS product again, especially an ROG item

I am off to buy a MOBO that actually works

boot device must contain windows boot manager file in the nvme disk otherwise it wont boot.

dont set as raid . functions of configuring RAID is different .

reser the bios setttings to default , then try to set nvme disk
