Windows 10: NVME failure

Hello,I found some strange bug using the GTX 1070, it appeared in December, my SSD fails when I play games. I use my computer for work and it can work all day long in other applications, but it fails after 15 minutes or even faster when I play games. In some newer games it happens instantly when game started. First of all, I should say that my SSD has been used for about 2-3 years and I did not have such a problem. The SSD model is NE-1TB 1024,2 GB kingspec 1 TB NVME SSD. First of all I made sure that it does not overheat, so I monitored the temperature with CrystalD

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.

 

Windows 10 installer don't detect NVMe drive

Thanks. This helped but only partly.

NVMe disk is now listed in choose-disk step but installer says that its unable to install WIndows on this disk because it has MBR partition. Windows can only be installed on GPT disks in EFI systems.

What should i do now ?

 

Use bootloader from a SATA disk to boot Windows installation on a NVME disk

I've managed to get the system booting from the NVME some other way:

1. Converted the NVME to GPT using MBR2GPT.EXE
2. Hacked NVME support into the bios
