Install of win 11 on HP Omen requires RST driver

[The_buzz1]

Hi, during the installation of Windows 11 a driver is asked which seems to be the Intel RST driver. 

But, on the product page of the notebook there is no RST driver available.

The latest stock driver from the Intel page is not recognized by the setup.

Best regards,

Michael

Hi, Michael:

See if this works for you...

I have zipped up and attached below, the Intel storage controller drivers that I hope work for Windows to find the hard drive.

Copy the 5 files from the F6/VMD/f6vmdflpy-x64 folder to a USB flash drive.

iastorvd.cat

iastorvd.inf

iastorvd.sys

rstmweventlogmsg.dll

rstmwservice.exe

Have the flash drive and your W11 installation media plugged into USB ports.

Boot from the W11 installation flash drive.

When you get to the screen where no drives can be found, click on the Load driver option, browse to the flash drive with the storage controller drivers on it.

If you check the box, it will only include the compatible driver.

Click Next and if those are the right drivers W11 should find the drive and install.

Hi Paul, thank you for your quick response.

Too bad, the driver that you have attached didn't work with my HP Omen.

It's not visible when the checkbox is checked and a manual install without the check won't work either.

Best regards,

Michael

You're very welcome.

I'm surprised that driver didn't work since it is for PC's with the Intel 11th > 13th gen Core processors.

I have zipped up and attached a newer version of the driver, below.

Copy all of the files inside both of the folders inside the driver folder to a USB flash drive and see if that works.

If that doesn't work either, unfortunately, I don't have any other suggestions for you to try.

Thank you, but did you forget the attachment?

[Paul_Tikkanen]

Yes, sorry.

I sure did.

I edited my post above and attached the missing file.

Mystery solved: I used an USB-Stick created with the MediaCreation Tool from Microsoft and it worked!
