HP Spectre x360 13t-4000
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I had a problem with the OS in not booting any more.  So i decided to reinstall Windows.on the device.

When installing Windows it doesn't recognize my harddisk. It says no disk is available for installation.

I also tested with different new disks to be sure that the disks wasn't the issue, with the same result.

On the internet i have searched for several drivers and tools, but can't seem to find it.

 

I think i need a "disk-controller" drive, so my disk are recognized, and ready for installation.

 

Any help would be appriciated.

Thanks.

Hi:

 

I'm surprised that W10 can't find the disk.

 

What model/generation Intel processor does it have?

HP Recommended

It has a Intel Core i5-5200U

Hi:

 

I have zipped up and attached below the W10 x64 sata drivers needed for the chipset your PC has, below.

 

Download and unzip the driver files to their folder.

 

Copy the files to a USB flash drive.

 

When you get to the part where it can't find the drive, click on the Load Driver option and browse to the USB flash drive with the driver files on it.

 

If you check the box, it will only include the compatible driver.

 

Click Next, and hopefully W10 will now see the drive.

 

If not, then I don't know what the problem could be.

Hi Paul,

 

Thanks for the feedback.  Altough i didn't work ☹️

 

If you select "show only compatible..."  nothing is shown in the list.

Al the other drivers i tried, without success.

Stil the message "We couldn't find any drives".

Paul,

In further searching and testing, your sugestion was indeed correct.
Since i did not see the disks (2 new disks) i started to revert back to the original disk.
As extra, in the bios, i cleared all security keys.
Started windows boot usb stick with the drivers, and now the install can see my disk.
SUPER !

Thanks for putting me in the right direction.

Regards,
Jo
