Windows 10: Is there an Issue with NVMe drives ?

Hi
I ran a hyper-v vm this morning and I tried to add a physical drive which I do regularly as I need to access the data on it.
Up until today, that data has always been on an SSD but I recently moved all that data onto a new NVMe drive.

The first time I tried, I added it while the VM was running and that blue screened the VM. when I tried to run that VM again it was trashed.
I had a backup so tried adding the drive before starting the VM. This did seem to work but I could not see the drive in explorer.
I could see it in disk management though. I tried a few times but none would give me access to the NVMe drive and I had one more crash.
I'm adding the drive as a SCSI drive as that's the only option.
Has anyone ever encountered this?

Thanks

Mike

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.

 

Optical Drive Issue

Hello Anak –

Appreciate your detailed return. Your added steps really helped.

Assuming I did the steps correctly, this is where I am now.

Screenshot 12 shows my CD Disc shortcut on my desktop.
Screenshot 10 shows the CD Drive shortcut listed in the “Send to” listing.
Screenshot 11 shows the “Send to” listing after the steps were taken, but the CD drive name is not listed.

So, it appears the steps did not work for me. And, I did try the steps, “If it still won’t do ……” and still no luck.

What do you think?
