Hello Guys,
im having the ASRock Z97 Extreme 9 and the Samsung XP941 (512GB) M.2-Ultra-SSD.
Updating from 1.14 to 1.30 was no problem via instant flash.
It previously installed an EFI-partition on the GPT-formated XP941 (Windows Boot Manager) during UEFI-setup (Windows 7) in the only doable state:
- set Storage OpROM CSM to UEFI only
- boot option "UEFI FAT usb-stickname"
The WIndows Boot Manager was still recognized by 1.30 and i was able to boot........
But i had to install Windows from scratch because of a corrupt installation of different reason.
Here comes the problem:
1.30 does no more show up boot option "UEFI FAT" of any USB-Stick or CD..... no matter what combination of CSM you try. I also tried disabling the USB(3) legacy mode and tried UEFI only for USB too and various SATA-modes..... but no way.
I spend the hole night to figure out that its just because of a bad BIOS not beeing able to detect UEFI-bootable devices at all!
Sticks and optical-discs will only show up as AHCI Fat ...
SO heres what I did to get it back working:
- re-flashed 1.14 via instant-flash, UEFI FAT option immediately appeared in boot-selection.
- install windows 7
- flash 1.30
THX ASROCK FOR A MARVELLOUS UPDATE!
P.S. I reported this directly via UEFI-online support-mail, hope to see a fix soon. Please any user... report this too, because this 1.30-uefi-storage-oprom-bug makes the XP941 un-installable.
