Cannot find RST driver for HP 250 G8 (2W8X8EA)

[kashima_]

I tried installing windows 10 on my new laptop, but there's no hard drive during the installation process. I figured I need a storage driver, I tried every single one from the official website and one from another community post but they don't seem to work for me. Please, help me find the sollution. Thanks.

See if this works to get W10 to see the NVMe SSD:

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 W10 installation media plugged into USB ports.

Boot from the W10 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 W10 should find the drive and install.

You're very welcome.

Sorry, that didn't work for you.

It should have since I gave the same drivers to another forum member that has a 250 G8 notebook.

Unfortunately, I don't have any other ideas for you to try unless you want to try the driver I provided in this discussion...
