Question Can i boot from my old SATA drive on my new VMD-based motherboard ?

[Ian985421]

When I try to enter the boot menu it says I don't have any bootable devices but my 250GB Sata SSD has a working Windows installation on it. Do I need to install Windows on my PCIe SSD to be able to run my new PC?

None of my hard drives show up in the boot priority, and I already tried disabling/enabling VMD and mapping / unmapping SATA via VMD, I also tried resetting my config.

My old PC's motherboard is broken and I don't have access to another working PC right now, but I was able to check that my hard drives are intact on someone else's PC

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

If the prior platform's SSD had an OS on it, then yes, you need to reinstall the OS after you've migrated platforms.

Turn off Intel RST.
And enable CSM.

I updated my Bios to the newest version and now I'm trying to install Windows via USB

When I'm prompted to select a drive for the Windows installation there are none available, I now have 2 x SATA HDDs, 1 x SATA SSD and 1 x PCIe SSD installed but none of them are available ?

I don't see anything called RST but I enabled CSM

In your screenshot in post #1 - Intel Rapid Storage Technology button.
Turn it off.

When you install windows, have only single drive connected.
Physically disconnect all the other drives.
