Hi,

I have a GA-X99-UD4 mainboard and installed a intel SSD6 2TB in the M.2 10gb slot.

The drive is recognized by windows(other SSD on the system) as well as within the Win installer(USB). but after installation/first reboot, I get following error:
file winload.efi is missing with
failure code: 0xc000000e
I'm also not able to see the m.2 ssd in the bios anywhere as well as it is not shown as bootable in the selection...

I saw several threads but nothing matching this issue.... hope someone has a solution for me.

thank you both! BIOS update fixed it. Looking back, I think my unreasonable inner defense against a BIOS update required me to go here and ask for help.... I always know that making a BIOS update could potentially fix it but for some reason I didn't want it to do. it took me just 10 minutes to do it, really stupid from me.

Thanks again. will never come back here for support if BIOS is no up to date... :LOL:
