My BIOS is flashed and up to date, and it recognizes my Samsung XP941, as does windows when I go into setup to install the OS. But windows keeps telling me "windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk..." Blah blah blah.
I've tried switching between AHCI and IDE, disconnecting all other drives, turning CSM on and off... And nothing works!
HELP. I need clarification: can the 990FX chipset even handle booting from the M.2 PCIE interface? Its listed on ASROCKs website that the Samsung xp941 is compatable, but is it compatable as a BOOT drive? I can't find clarification ANYWHERE, because there is almost no info on this board online... At all. Can you enlighten me as to why this situation isn't working out?
Everything else is working A-okay with no issues. I've already booted into windows on a Samsung SATAIII ssd from my previous build. There are no hardware faults, just a question of whether or not this stupid board is even capable of booting from M.2 or not, and subsequently, whether I need to return my xp941. Honestly though... If they advertise the M.2 slot on this board, yet it can't boot from it, then I'm at a loss for words on how worthless this board is.
Also, to clarify, I have tried installing windows 7 onto this drive both from optical disk and USB, both of them are still giving me the same result.

remember to update the firmware to 1.30, reboot, shutdown and clear cmos with jumper before proceed.
