Hp Pavilion Laptop Model 15t-eg000 - Got stuck in a loop of system repair, when I try reinstall windows- the hard drive is not listed as an option to use. The BIOS sees the drive and the drive passes all the tests. - If secure boot is enabled the system will give an error that no boot device detected. I can boot from a windows 11 recovery usb, and attempt repairs and reinstall.
Solved! Go to Solution.

You have to install the Intel storage controller drivers at the screen where Windows can't find the drive that I zipped up and attached below.
Unzip and copy all of the files in the folder in the attachment to a USB flash drive.
Have the flash drive and your Windows installation media plugged into USB ports.
Boot from the Windows 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.
If Windows still can't find the drive, uncheck the box to include the compatible driver and try any of the ones listed.
