Ever since a failed windows 11 upgrade and a lot of troubleshooting. and formating the ssd and hdd, now win10 clean install from a bootable media made with media creation tool wont progress at all because it cannot install the intel rsd driver. failed driver install

i have downloaded 3 drivers from https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/omen-by-hp-15-dc0000-laptop-pc-series/20329817

- Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver(Windows 10 v1709)

- Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver(Windows 10 v1809)

- Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver (Windows 10 v1903) 

and i have downloaded 4 others from other discussions and intels own site. Yet none of them works!.

this is a very expensive laptop DC000xx series hp omen 15 when bought only for a failed windows update to break everything, and now cant even re install windows because of this driver error.

Can someone help me get windows installed.

@John77772,

A zipped IRST driver file is attached at the bottom of this reply. Try to see if it works for you. 

If you can't find any working IRST drivers, you can use HP Cloud Recovery Tool to create a bootable recovery usb drive that installs Windows, all necessary drivers and HP software. You need a 32 GB usb drive. The recovery tool can be downloaded from the MS Store. See this link below for how to use the tool.

If you need to use another PC to run the tool to create a recovery usb drive, you'll be prompted to provide the full product number of the notebook, which you can find on the bottom cover of the notebook.

Unfortunately this didn't work, the same error appeared again.

i also tried formatting cleaning and creating partitions for the drives, though it did not help

im planning to get a new usb to create a bootable media, maybe my old usb is the problem so i heard. but until then i any other suggestions would be appreciated

The problem has been solved, it was the usb was too old and was causing the errors, tried with a different one and the error went away.
