HP PCs - No drives can be found during Windows 10 installation (Intel 9th Generation)

[Daniel485]

I tried reinstalling Windows 10 to a HP slim desktop S01-pF0130hk

After booting off a Windows 10 USB disk no drives can be found. I downloaded the Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver 17.5.2.1024 Rev.A from HP support website and loaded it using the load driver option, but still no luck.

What else can I do? Thanks in advance.

I did hardware test in BIOS and confirmed that the disks are all good.

Finally I got it to work. I did a couple of things at the same time. Not sure which one did the trick.

1. Download Win10 1909 iso and use rufus to burn to usb

2. Put the Drivers folder extracted from the same downloaded driver file to the root of the usb

3. Reset BIOS setting to defaults
