Windows 10: ADATA SX8200 960GB M.2 NVMe -- Unable to boot Windows 10, "not migrated due to partial or...

Hello,


I'm having a bit of trouble with a new M.2 NVMe SSD I bought a few days ago, and hoping someone may have a bit of insight.


I was able to get Windows 10 installed on the new drive; however, on restart I get the following error:


"Reboot and Select proper Boot Device

or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key"


The drive is selected as the appropriate Boot Device, can be seen in the BIOS, and the settings should be correct (played around with UEFI, Legacy, CSM enable/disable, etc. anyway, but to no avail). I disconnected all other drives / peripherals on fresh install.


After this error, I replaced my old Crucial SSD and booted windows with this new drive as a secondary -- and I can see the ADATA drive, write to it, use it, etc. perfectly fine. HOWEVER, I did find a warning in the Windows event viewer for the ADATA drive, and the warning message is as follows:


--------------------------


Device SCSI\Disk&Ven_NVMe&Prod_ADATA_SX8200NP\5&154d0510&0&000000 was not migrated due to partial or ambiguous match.



Last Device Instance Id: USBSTOR\Disk&Ven_SanDisk&Prod_U3_Cruzer_Micro&Rev_8.02\02665213BA90D955&0

Class Guid: {4d36e967-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}

Location Path:

Migration Rank: 0xF000FC00FFFFF130

Present: false

Status: 0xC0000719


---------------------------


So it appears to be some sort of driver issue. The Cruzer Micro would potentially be the USB I mounted the Windows 10 install on (I've tried using other USB keys as well to do a fresh install but a get a similar result).


Anyone have any ideas? Ideally I'd like to use the ADATA as my OS drive, but it just won't seem to work.



Some other specs that may be of use:

Motherboard: Gigabyte B250M-DS3H

CPU: i5-7500



Thank you for any help!

:)

 

ADATA Shows Off XPG SX8200 and IM2P33F8 M.2 NVMe 1.3 SSDs

ADATA showed off its latest M.2 NVMe SSDs that support the latest NVMe 1.3 specification, and are based on some of the newer generation controllers, beginning with the XPG SX8200. This drive combines Silicon Motion SM2262 controller with 3D TLC NAND flash memory, and comes in capacities of 240 GB, 480 GB, and 960 GB. The drive offers sequential transfer rates of up to 3200 MB/s reads, with up to 1700 MB/s writes; and features SLC caching, an LPDC ECC engine, and an internal RAID engine.

The ADATA XPG SX8200 is designed to succeed the XPG SX8000, which is second-fiddle to the company's fastest XPG SX9000-series, and competes with the likes of Samsung 960 EVO series. The ADATA IM2P33F8 implements Silicon Motion SM2263XT controller, which is DRAM-less and has just four flash channels. The drive offers sequential speeds of up to 2400 MB/s reads, with up to 1700 MB/s writes; and comes in capacities of 128 GB, 256 GB, and 512 GB.

 

M.2 SATA to NVME clone: Windows 10 won't boot

Problem: Windows partition won't boot after cloning M.2 SATA drive to M.2 NVME. Simply returns to BIOS splash screen are restarts boot sequence.

Background: Cloning process was simple raw dd copy. Drive had EFI, Windows 10, and Linux partitions. Cloning preserved exact partition sequence, sizes, and UUIDs.

Linux partition needed minor tweaks to /etc/fstab due to the device names being different (/dev/nvme0n1px vs. /dev/sdax), but boots fine.

The disk is GPT, and I believe the original Windows 10 was UEFI - the Linux installation definitely was.

Boot sequence brings up Linux 'grub' menu first. Choosing the EFI partition then brings up Windows EFI boot menu. Fresh Windows install (see below) boots fine from here, old install fails.

Attempts at solution: I did a fresh Windows install in a spare partition and it boots fine. Using the new Windows installation, I've edited the BCD entry for my original Win 10 install. I have
the correct BCD device, osdevice, and path.

Questions:

• What else needs to be done to make Windows boot again?
• Are there any config file or registry changes that need to be made to account for the SATA to NVME move?
• How do I see boot error messages for a UEFI boot failure? No errors displayed and no log files that I can find in Windows or EFI partitions...

 

ADATA XPG launches the Gaming SX8200 PCIe M.2 2280 SSD

ADATA Technology, a leading manufacturer of high performance DRAM modules and NAND Flash products, today launched the XPG SX8200, its fastest consumer SSD to date. It arrives in a compact M.2 2280 form factor and uses the ultra-fast PCIe3x4 interface to deliver up to 3200MB/s read and 1700MB/s write - which is perfect for gamers, overclockers, and PC DIY enthusiasts in pursuit of unsurpassed performance! SX8200 employs the latest 2nd generation 64-layer 3D NAND Flash for improved reliability and ships in capacities of 240GB, 480GB, and 960GB.









PCIe Gen3x4 - Breakthrough the Barrier of Speed
Leveraging ultra-fast PCIe Gen3x4 interface and the NVMe 1.3 protocol, the SX8200 provides tremendous improvement in read/write performance. It implements a 32bit DRAM data bus, intelligent SLC Caching, and a DRAM cache buffer, accelerating sequential and 4K random read/write speeds. It reaches speeds of up to 3200MB/s for reads and 1700MB/s for writes and 310K/280K IOPS random 4K read/writes for faster boot, shorter game loads, and system response time.

Multiple Data Protection Technologies for Greater Reliability
Utilizing 2nd generation 64-layer 3D NAND Flash, SX8200 is more reliable, faster performing, and longer lasting than ever. It also supports RAID Engine and Data Shaping for greater reliability and stability. Similarly, it has a 2 million hour MTBF (mean time between failures) rating. The SX8200 supports LDPC (low density parity check) error correcting code and wear leveling, among other fidelity-enhancing features.





More Options for Gamers and Professionals
The high speeds and tolerances of the SX8200 make it a great choice for speed-seeking gamers, overclockers, and professionals, such as graphics/render artists and compositors. Customers can choose between the 240GB, 480GB, and 960GB versions of the SX8200.
