M.2 NVMe not detected on Windows PE boot.

DoyleChris98 — Thu, 14 Jan 2021 11:47:59 GMT

I have a Lenovo Thinkstation P340, installed are 2 M.2 NVMe SSD modules setup in a RAID 1 config.

I need to make a image of the drive for backup purposes. The software I have is Paragon Hard Disk Manager. I am able to create a bootable Windows PE environment, and run the Paragon software from there.

The problem is when I make the bootable media (USB) I add the Intel RST drivers to the image, but when I boot up the computer into Paragon it doesn't see the M.2 Drives. I try installing the drivers manually from the programs options, but still no drives show up.

I have checked with Lenovo and they told me to come to Intel.

Hello DoyleChris98,

Thank you for posting on the Intel® communities.

We appreciate the report that you provided; however, I was unable to find any information about your motherboard model and the chipset it comes with, and in order to move forward we need that information, would you mind letting us know what would be your exact motherboard's chipset model to continue with your support request.

I look forward to hearing from you.

I am being told that WinPE from RS1 (1607) onward has the Intel RST drivers included inbox and that the RAID array should be exposed. Are you perhaps using an older version of WinPE?
