The Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver not found

[fakhriddin-baki]

I have been facing issue with the installation of Windows 10 pro through USB. the error saying 'No Drivers Were Found'. I downloaded The Intel Rapid Storage Technology from the official HP support site choosing Windows 10, version 64x. But no this driver found when choosing from the folder to install this hard disk driver. So cant find the correct The Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver to install Windows 10 Pro. Can you help me with this issue?

See if this works to get W10 to see the NVMe SSD:

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 W10 installation media plugged into USB ports.

Boot from the W10 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 W10 should find the drive and install.

Yes, it found the compatable driver, the installation run, but the result is saying "no driver found". Maybe the problem is with C disk bitlocker? Before windows installation, i had provided bitlocker password in F2 or F8 command. How can I go to windows in safe mode to switch off the bitlocker completely? I guess this problem is stoping the driver installation??? Can you help me with this problem?

Unfortunately, I don't know much about Bitlocker except that is causes issues and that is the first thing I turn off in the PC.

There are so many posts on the forum about now knowing Bitlocker keys, locked out of the PC, can't install Windows...

The only suggestion I can offer, would be to try cleaning the disk at the screen where no drives can be found.

• 1. From inside Windows Setup, press Shift+F10 to open a command prompt window.
• 2. Type diskpart and press the enter key
• 3..Type list disk . (look for your disk number, check the size of the disk)
• 4. Type select disk <disk number>. example: select disk0 (select the disk you want to format)
• 5. Type clean.
• 6. Type convert gpt.
• 7. Close the command prompt window.

Please prepare a USB stick a different make and model than the one you are currently using with "rufus"/ media creation tool. You would be surprised it will find the drives straight away without the need for loading the drivers.
