Hi,

It looks like you are trying to install a fresh system on a brand new unformatted drive that the system doesn't recognize. You don't need this driver to install Windows on a single drive computer. Make sure that RST is disabled in the BIOS. 

If the drive is brand new it needs formatting and setting up the partition table. If so try a usb partition manager(Gparted/EaseUS PM) and format the drive first. Once the drive is formatted to the NTFS it should be a pretty straight forward installation.

Hi, @Kirolos_Essam 

 

Getting Windows to install on the M.2 SSD is a relatively easy procedure.

 

You have to install the Intel storage controller drivers that I zipped up and attached below, which are good for PC's with the Intel 11th gen > 13th gen core processors.

 

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 Windows should find the drive and install.
