Understand the disk chain - You may have to add the NVME driver to Windows 7 (kb2990941).
The m..2 form factor a SATA Express interface (connector) can hook to either SATA or PCIe physical layer, and the device interface behind this could be either AHCI or NVMe. If Dell is using NVMe you will have to add the hotfix to get be NVME support in Windows 7.

This is an EXTERNAL email. DO NOT open attachments or click links from unknown senders or unexpected email. *** Just got a Dell E7270 Ultrabook for evaluation and trying to OSD it with our corporate Win7 x86 SOE on it, but when it boots into WinPE (x86 or x64), it doesn't detect any physicals disks. I have enabled command support, so when I press "F8", run diskpart and use the "list disk" in the command window, it states that, "There are no fixed disks to show". If I let the machine boot into the preloaded factory image (Win 8.1 x64), I can open diskpart and run "list disk" and it shows me the disk info which is a GPT disk and not MBR (I've not dealt with GPT disks before). I've injected the Network and SATA drivers into the both boot images and still no luck. Any guidance is much appreciated.
