HP 350 G1 mSata no boot (boot device not found)

[victorovich]

Hi everyone. I became a happy owner of HP 350 1 and faced one problem.

The laptop arrived without drives, and it has an mSata connector from which it does not want to boot.
I threw a 2.5 "ssd with cable from a similar device (without mSata) for the test, it's no problem to boot with it, but he needs it more than mine, so we continue with ours.

Windows 10 is installed perfectly through UEFI, but right after the reboot -  boot device not found.
I tried absolutely all combinations of bios: secure boot on/off, intel rapid storage on/off, legacy support on/off, upgraded bios from vf12 to vf16, threw off bios for defaults, threw in obviously installed mSata from another laptop - to no avail.

About a couple of thousand laptops passed through my hands and I encountered this for the first time.
The BIOS simply does not see the disk in the boot (and in the BIOS itself is displayed, we can see it in the: system configuration-UEFI device configuration-intel rapid storage).
I found a way to boot from it, specifically to enable the internal network adapter boot, select network boot protocol - IPv4 + Ipv6 UEFI, save, reboot and see that nothing has changed, boot the device is still not found, BUT if you select a boot, now instead of an empty boot list we have 3 options: network adapter (IPv4 UEFI), network adapter (IPv6 UEFI) and boot from EFI File - by clicking on which we see the path (NO VOLUME LABEL [Acpi(PNP...........)) - then choose EFI-BOOT - bootx64.efi and the Windows boots, we continue to install Windows, and as a result we get information that the SSD is seen as a laptop, the boot partitions have been created and everything works fine until the reboot, each time this path must be done again.
How to make laptop boot with mSata SSD?
With best wishes, Vlad from Ukraine.

I can't believe that or do you mean the 1st reboot during installation.

The bootx64.efi is the efishell installation command.
Navigate to bootmgfw.efi instead and select the bootmanager to boot.
If you can't find it copy the bootmgfw.efi and rename it to bootx64.efi

Thanks for the reply.

The laptop boots if I choose bootmgfw.efi

Just as it loads if I choose bootx64.efi

But in the boot menu there is still no disk, the laptop can not boot automatically, every time I turn it on I get - boot device not found, then press f9, choose the path I need, but it should not be so.

And you really checked all Settings in F10 and you can't move the mSata to the first place? 

So there is no "Windows Boot Manager" in the F9 Menue?

Did you check the bcdedit entries?
