Windows 10: Boot problems on a nvme samsung 970Evo drive

Greetings,

I have an equiry for boot error on my nvme drive , and how I solve it but still have boot problems again.

1) Motherboard MSI x470 Gaming Carbon Pro
2) The Boot drive is an Nvme Samsung 970evo
3) cpu is ryzen 5 2600
4) Ram is dominator platinium ddr4 3200

Sometimes with a cold boot, windows 10 pro don't boot, boot loops, its trying to restore, and stopcodes
I am trying to use my usb win 10 installation and my usb recovery disk but they don't work (when I take off the nvme is working the win 10 installation)

My temporarly solve is to change the m.2 place to the second port, but still the same problems, and magically after time all work.

I have now updated the bios of my motherboard.

But I am asking why so much problems with the Nvme drives when they work with pci express lanes. The problem is unstable, and the solve is not 100% and works just when it wants to. I would like some technical information, I am my own system builder and I am an electronic engineer.

Motherboard warning leds never show problems, and the bios is mostly untouched except ram speed. but the problem is not this because when I troubleshoot I use default speeds. I need a fix when this problem with boot comes again, some info, what is wrong.

Thank you for your time

:)

 

Windows 10 Safe Boot and Samsung NvME Drives

I recently had a boot failure and had to restore Windows 10 from a backup. If you are using a Samsung NvME drive as a boot drive (C-Drive) be advised that if you put your system in safe mode and then reboot normally it will fail as Windows 10 will not
find the driver to load itself. I use Acronis on a USB drive to do the restore as Acronis has a procedure that recognizes the drive

 

Windows 10 installer don't detect NVMe drive

I have 2 drives:

• disk1 (SATA SSD, with Ubuntu 16.04)
  • partition1 (sda1: flag /boot)
  • partition2 (sda2: flag /home, encrypted by LUKS)
• disk2 (NVMe SSD)

So, the goal is to install Windows 10 on disk2 and boot it from GRUB (which is on sda1).

What is the problem ?

In disk-choose step, disk2 is missing. However Ubuntu 14.04 installer "see" this disk, so I assume that is software issue, rather than my hardware.

What I tried to solve this problem ?

• loaded Samsung NVMe drivers from this thread
• patched Windows image using DISM tool by adding 2 updates. I followed this guide
• tried to run Windows 10 installed on USB stick to install it

All of them failed.

Please help me to solve this issue.

 

Installing new NvMe drive and using it as primary boot runnig windows 10

Hello,

I have a preinstalled windows 10 along with 30+ apps(both from manufacturer and third party) running on my desktop. I recently bought the Samsung 960 evo NvMe drive and would like to use it as my new boot drive. I know that I have to create a bootable usb
drive, disconnect all other SSD/HDD, leave only the NvMe drive, install windows on it and then reconnect all the drives back.

I would like to understand how I could create an ISO image of my preinstalled windows 10(along with all the updates, hardware drivers and apps) and make a bootable USB out of it. Is it possible? if so, could anyone list the steps needed or point me to a
thread or post online? Thank you.
