@17-cn0524ng,

Apparently, 17-c0000 models come with either an Intel Core 11th gen processor or Intel Pentium Gold 7505 processor which supports Optane and VMD features, so probably you need to supply Intel RST VMD storage drivers to the Windows installer. You can follow the instructions below to install IRST drivers, and hopefully, the installation setup can detect the storage drive to install Windows on:

1. Use a Windows installation usb drive created with Microsoft Media Creation Tool (an ISO file-based installation usb drives tend to cause errors during the IRST driver installation).

2. Download Intel RST driver from the link below. Run it as administrator and follow the on-screen instructions to perform the driver extraction.

3. Go to C:\SWSetup\sp146929. Double click the sp146929 folder and copy the F6 folder to the root directory of a Windows installation usb drive. The F6 folder contains IRST drivers which the installation setup needs to detect the storage drive.

4. Connect the usb drive to the notebook and boot the system from the usb drive. When asked where to install Windows, click on Load Driver -> Browse -> the usb drive in the window that opens -> the F6 folder -> OK.

5. Multiple .inf driver files may be displayed. Select one and click Next.

6. The storage drive will be displayed with "unallocated space" and click Next to proceed the installation.
