Installing on NVM solid state drives

Hello,

I am having no luck installing the boot loader on my NVMe drive.  I have tried just about everything I know to try.

Mother board:
http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z170%20Extreme7+/

Hard drive
http://www.samsung.com/global/business/ … rview.html

Thanks in advance!

EDIT:
I got it installed thanks

Re: Installing on NVM solid state drives

Does your motherboard actually support booting from NVMe drives?

I know a lot of them don't.

Re: Installing on NVM solid state drives

I think the problem may be that I am not in UEFI mode?  I turned off legacy support CSM (compatability support module) an now when i boot from the iso/usb install it boots to a blank page.  I have no options or anywhere where I can type anything, it just immediately goes to a black screen.  (with csm enabled the usb disk will boot but the boot loader will not work)

Re: Installing on NVM solid state drives

I searched for "solved" and I didnt find anything on the page.  I do not see where you can do that (something simple like that shouldnt be this difficult)
