Hi - I've put a OWC 240GB PCIe based SSD in my machine, an HP h9-1150. It uses an AMI BIOS. The drive doesn't show up as a boot option in the boot order menu of the BIOS. If I disable booting from the drives connected to the internal SATA controller (a pair of 3TB drives in a stripe set and an older 120GB intel SSD) I get a "no boot disk" type of error. The only other relevant option in the BIOS is RAID vs AHCI emulation for the onboard controller, which has no effect on the problem.
So far HP and OWC have been less than helpful, although the OWC guys seem to be thinking about it.
Any suggestions? Does it matter which slot it's placed in? The HP live chat people seemed to suggest that no hard drive controller in a PCIe slot was bootable with this BIOS, which I just don't believe. Thanks in advance!!
