Where Do You Want To Install Windows NO Drive Showing Up

No drive shows up when trying to install Windows 10 or 11. I will show you how to fix this. Seems to be an issue with 11th Gen Intel Processors RST Drivers. Easy fix.
Updated 2023 Version Of This Video:
• Where Do You Want to I...
---------------------------------------------------------------
Download the file from link below, extract it to a flash drive, or use same flash drive you use to Install Windows 10 or 11.
Download link from Intel:
www.intel.com/content/www/us/...
Get the VMD driver, not the non-vmd.
Thanks for watching, Dale

    Thank you so much! They changed the procedure slightly because you can no longer download just that file. You have download the setupRST.exe then you have to use the terminal to extract it by copying ./SetupRST.exe -extractdrivers SetupRST_extracted into termial/powershell (not command prompt) once you do that it extracts it and then you put those extracted files on the usb. when you select browse you have to click through all the folders and I believe its called vmd select that one and it will appear as the selected drive you do that it installs and shows all the drives! First intel build and this was beyond annoying I spent all day trying to figure this out.

    Just to clarify, you want to download the VMD driver (not the non-VMD driver). I have only come across this problem with 11th gen laptop CPU's on all brands (HP/Dell/Lenovo/Acer). 10th gen laptop CPU's and earlier don't have this problem. Also, 11th gen desktop CPU's don't have this problem either.

    thanks for the info. For the most part, your video helped me. 2 additional notes; I had to actually pick the 3rd Intel Rapid Storage zip file cause my DELL laptop has an INTEL processor (the 2nd one is for non-Intel). Once I used this one and extracted it to a USB drive, all was good. Also, while all my drives showed up, they were all unavailable & locked at first cause of bitlocker. In order to bypass this, I basically had to delete ALL partitions (5 of them). Since I was doing a total clean install and didn't have any data to worry about, this was not a problem for me. Just keep this in mind too. Again, thanks for the info

    Great video. Would like to make an important question in my case concerning the most recent dell computers that come with raid as an active drive controller (intel rst active) and not ahci. The problem is that whenever i try to boot into these machines in a winpe environment with the Strelec package if you know that, in order to reset the admin password if i cannot log into it or just backup the data of a user into an external hdd before reinstalling windows if the precedent os is damaged and cannot be repaired, the internal hdd-s or ssd-s or just the os directories into the drives are invisible. I click on “This PC” and there’s only my usb visible and nothing else. I made a search on the internet and it seems it has something to do with the intel rst driver that abstracts the hdd from the os. Please help me, what should i do in this case in order to be able managing the pc even when the pc is unbootable or just the admin password is not recognized

    I've tried this and it doesn't work because the installer never finds the driver. The problem isn't with the i3 or chipset but it's due to the fact that OS installation utilities don't recognize an NVMe SSD as a real drive that is bootable so an OS can't be installed on them in a desktop computer or anything else either.
