ATI2020 rescue disk didn't recognise UEFI hard disk on a new XPS 13 7390 notebook

Thread needs solution

I received a new XPS 13 7390 notebook and proceed to create an image of the hard disk using bootable ATI2020Bld25700 Rescue USB Media.  BIOS is set on UEFI and Secure Boot.

ATI successfully boot but unfortunately it didn't display any internal hard disk except the rescue USB.

I disabled Secure Boot, same result i.e. no internal hard disk display.

Details of new XPS.

- XPS 13 7390 Bios 1.4.0

- internal hard disk is m.2 PCIe SSD-0/SATA-2 / PC SN520 NVMe WDC 128GB

- Bios does mention Legacy Boot mode is not supported on this platform

I have had no such problem with old XPS 13 which has Legacy boot capability.  This is the first time I have encountered with this problem.

Do I need the NVMe driver?

As creating backup image of the original hard disk is key to preserving the notebook as it is delivered New, I am desparate in finding a solution to this.

Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

Kelvin, welcome to these public User Forums.

Which actual type of rescue media have you created here?

For the ATI 2018 & later version rescue media, there are 3 different versions available:
Simple:  created based on your Windows Recovery Environment for WinPE media.
Advanced: created based on Windows ADK (or AIK for earlier OS versions) - WinPE media.
Advanced: created based on a small Linux distro OS (BusyBox) or created from the .ISO CD image download from your Acronis Account page.

It is recommended to create the Simple rescue media or else the Advanced WindowsPE media using the ADK for best support of NVMe M.2 drives.

What boot mode did you use to boot the rescue media?

This needs to be booted in UEFI / GPT mode to be able to recognise NVMe M.2 drives.

There's not enough information here to know for sure, but let me make some guesses. Did you use the Simple option to create the WinRE recovery media? If so, the most likely reason would be the SATA mode in the BIOS is set to RAID. Newer computers with M.2 NVMe drives are being shipped with the SATA mode set to RAID even when there is no RAID array set up. This is to get more performance from the drives. You should check the BIOS to confirm this. If SATA is set to RAID, you will need to add the RAID to the recovery media.

If your RAID controller is Intel based, you can use the MVP Tool to build the media. Use the build from WinRE option and select to add custom drivers during the build process. The Intel IRST RAID drivers are included in the Tool.
