HP Laptop PC 15-dw3000 (1A3X9AV)
Microsoft Windows 11

Replaced the solid-state M.2 drive on this laptop and I've been trying to install Win 11 to no luck. Keeps saying I'm missing media driver I've downloaded the SP149244 driver and used ever driver in the set to no luck. I've even tried using the generic sets from the 15-dw3000 set with windows 10 and windows 11 to no luck. Am I doing something wrong or what???

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.
