@Satyajeet111222, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. 
From your message, it seems that:

  1. Your operating system has crashed.
  2. You're trying to reinstall Windows using a bootable USB.
  3. The laptop either doesn’t boot properly from USB or doesn’t show any drives during installation.

Let’s go through some steps to troubleshoot this:

 

Step 1: Confirm USB Bootable Media

  • Make sure the USB was created properly using the Windows Media Creation Tool.
  • The USB should be formatted to FAT32 and have 32 GB of space.
  • You can create one using another working PC from this Microsoft link: Download Windows 11

Step 2: Boot from USB

  • Insert the USB into the laptop.
  • Turn off the laptop completely.
  • Turn it on and immediately start pressing Esc repeatedly until the Startup Menu appears.
  • Press F9 to open Boot Device Options.
  • Select your USB drive and press Enter.

Step 3: No Drive Detected During Install?

If the Windows installer starts but no drives are shown for installation:

It could be a missing storage controller driver (common with AMD chipset-based systems).

Solution:

  • When you're on the "Where do you want to install Windows?" screen, press Shift + F10 to open Command Prompt.
  • Type diskpart → press Enter.
  • Type list disk → press Enter.

Do you see your internal hard drive?

If no, the disk may not be detected due to a driver issue or hardware failure.

If yes, continue with the following:

  • Type exit to close diskpart, then close the Command Prompt.
  • Download the AMD SATA/RAID driver for your laptop model on another PC from the HP Support site or AMD website.
  • Load the driver during Windows Setup by clicking "Load driver".

Optional: Reset BIOS Settings

If the system is not even recognizing the USB or internal storage:

  • Turn off the laptop.
  • Turn it on and press Esc, then F10 for BIOS.
  • In BIOS, press F9 to load defaults, then F10 to save and exit.
  • Make sure the USB drive is shown as a boot option.

I hope this helps. 

 

Take care and have a good day.
