HP OMEN Notebook (15-5100np) - M.2 disk replacement

[RicardoEsteves]

Hi,

I bought a 1TB M.2 disk (Kingston NV1 1TB - https://www.kingston.com/czech/en/ssd/nv1-nvme-pcie-ssd?capacity=1000gb) to replace my current 256GB M.2 but the laptop doesn't recognize it.

The disk works fine connecting from external usb case.

Anyone knows if there is some kind of incompatibility ?

It has 256 GB M.2 SSD which is M.2 SATA SSD. You bought M.2 NVMe SSD that why machine does not know it.

Regards.

In the manual there is reference also to M.2 PCIe (nvme) so i assumed the laptop would support it.

Solid-state drive (M.2)
Description Spare part number
128 GB solid-state drive (SSD), M.2, TLC, 2280 DS, SATA 788611001
256 GB solid-state drive (SSD), M.2, MLC, 2260 DS,PCIe 788612-001
256 GB solid-state drive (SSD), M.2, TLC, SATA 819489-001
512 GB solid-state drive (SSD), M.2, MLC, 2280 DS, PCIe 788613-001

And the disk included in my latop is not SATA is actually PCIe 2.0 x2 (nvme):

I booted the laptop with a linux usb pen, and i can see the new disk, as /dev/nvme0n1

It has all the partitions (i copied from old disk with dd) but when i add the boot entries with efibootmgr they are added but i reboot and bios doesn't see the boot entries. I booted again with linux usb pen and when i run efibootmgr again definitely they are not there anymore.

So the nvme disk gets detected, but for some reason i'm unable to add the boot entries to the EFI table.

Any ideas how to solve? Some limitation of the EFI BIOS with more recent nvme disks?
