[SOLVED] Can't boot Windows 10 from M2 disk

[petr.pakosta]

Hi! I have spent a day on it 🙁 I have mb Gigabyte GA-Z370 HD3P, M2 disk A-data XPG S11 and unfortunately Windows 10.

What I have already done: I made a bootable USB stick with UEFI Windows version (with Rufus utility), installed a copy of Windows on the M2 drive.

After restart I'm not able to boot again and the disk is not in boot option in BIOS (CMS disabled). With CMS enabled I can see it in boot options but I'm not able to boot.

I tried many combinations of BIOS settings, I tried to install Windows on another disk - and I saw Win folders on the M2 disk. It seems that Windows see the disk but are not able make it bootable (BIOS does not recognize it as a bootable disk). What to do? Any advice appreciate! Thank you in advance. Petr.

Hi, It could be a drive issue. Try returning it.

I tried another M2 disk and it works! But the first one runs normally... I'm little confused 🙂

Even if apparently it does seem to work normally... actually, it doesn't, since not able to boot from.
