@GHOST420LXIX,

You can follow the steps below to install Intel RST drivers.

1. Use a Windows installation usb drive created with Microsoft Media Creation Tool (an ISO file-based installation usb drives may 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.

https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp146501-147000/sp146929.exe

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. If no driver files are displayed, uncheck the box on the bottom left corner of the screen to display drivers. Find and select an 'iaStorVD.inf ' file and click Next to load the driver.

6. The storage drive may be displayed with multiple partitions. Delete each of all the partitions. When you just see unallocated space on the screen, click Next to proceed the installation.

If you have a problem with the above IRST driver installation, you can use HP Cloud Recovery Tool that creates a bootable recovery usb drive that restores the storage drive to a factory state.

Let me know how the IRST driver installation goes.
