I followed this guide exactly but when I got back to the Windows Setup page and selected my USB in the browser, it did not recognize anything. To solve this, what I did was add the entire RTS folder to a new clean USB. then connect both USBs to the new laptop. Then in the Windows Setup page browser I selected the VMD folder and that worked for me.
Thanks for sharing this to help other viewers out, really appreciate it!
I had the same problem and this fix worked for me. Thank you!
Glad the video helped you out!@@pox1151
You are a legend broo!!!!! Thanks so fking much
Thank you I was about to pull my hair out and curl up into a fetal position
damn, it worked.
PLEASE NOTE: Put the entire RTS folder in the USB, and when searching the drivers, go inside the folders (when installing) until you reach VMD folder and simply select it. It will then show you waht the video show at min 04:16 . Select VMD Controller and then Next. It will load many times (the green bar on bottom) and then you'll see partitions.
Thanks for sharing!
Always a random comment saving the day, thank you !
Thanks for the comment, didn't work without it!
I also had to use this method, thanks!
U saved me!!! Ty
MAAAAATE, IVE BEEN SEARHING FOR DAAYS FOR THIS FIX, NO SINGLE VIDEO HAS BEEN AS HELPFUL AS YOURS. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE EFFORT YOU PUT IT!
Yoooo man, I'm so glad I could help solve your problem! Always a pleasure and thanks for your comment! 😃
Actually command should be as follows
PS C:\TEMP > .\SetupRST.exe -extractdrivers /f C:\RST\
Usage /s /e /f
-s Un-package the package in silent mode (not showing the user interaction UI)
-f Runtime switch that overrides the default target path specified in the build time.
- e Prevent execution of the default executable file specified in the build time.
Didn't worked until I copied full RST folder with all files, and my system wanted to INF file, not SYS. Maybe that information will be useful for someone. Anyway, thanks for your guide!
Pleasure, thanks for sharing how you managed to fix your issue!
thank you , it did save my life also :D
Awesome, glad to hear that!@@mitil2044
I did not copy the whole RST File but I did copy the VMD file over and then it found the driver also titled with the inf. Thanks for doing that!
you a life saver bro
It would help to note to copy and paste the whole VMD folder from RST into the flash drive instead of just the IAstorvd.sys. But thanks man your a real life saver. There were other videos like this about getting the SATA software driver update from Intel but they were old and outdated in how you had to extract and download them.
Yeah if I knew about it during the making of the video I would've copied the whole folder, but my awesome community has left a lot of comments saying to copy the whole folder, hopefully people come down here to read the comments!
Legend
Thank you so much homie! Struggled for several days and couldn't find any solutions. I had to put the whole VMD folder on the USB and that worked!
Great! I'm glad I could help you out 😎
This video and this comment saved me! F*** yes!
Awesome! I'm glad the guide helped you out! 😀@@martindragland8585
This.
THIS ! do this guys. Copy the whole folder with every file that was extracted. Thanks a million ❤
I have a solution for Those who have this problem. I also solve it with an unique solution. Just booth two usb-pendrive and connect them together. Then boot from one, if didn’t solve the problem then restart and boot from another. Hopefully It will solve this problem.

Okay, so are you saying there is something wrong with the Windows installation media?
yes, kinnda
Did not work for my case, but found out that a BIOS setting was on allowing RAID. Flipped that to AHCI/NVMe, and without the drivers was able to see the drives. This is for a Dell laptop, and I have seen this problem on many Dell computers that may have RAID enabled by default. Hope this saves someone hours of struggling :)
I'm sure this comment will help someone! Yeah I've noticed that on DELL laptops and also on the new Lenovo's, VMD is enabled by default, also causing the drives not to be seen by the drivers. I just disable it.
Your comment helped me!
The creator of the video is a hero but you sir is the hero I personally needed thank you so much for the help
It helped me too. Thank you.
I genuinely cannot express my love to you, thank you kind sir
you are amazing ! can't believe have to go through all that though just to install a driver while trying to install windows in this day and age..
Yeah it's crazy hey!
Unfortunately this will not work for proprietary hardware like office computers like Dell or Acer.
For these you will need the custom os install disk or iso as trying to do it this way doesn't work due to the proprietary system design, I learnt this the hard way with HP, DELL and Acer office computers as I tried this with all 3 and it never worked.
As a result I advise everyone to steer clear of proprietary desktop builds and for laptops to create a recovery disk or usb drive device when you first use it after purchase and keep that labelled device in a safe place.
Yeah, you're right about that, but I assume that is only for desktops, or is it the same for laptops?
@@memstechtips same for laptops, actually even more so unfortunately!
Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate it. 😀@@paulfrayne6519
It worked for my acer laptop
Thanks for letting us know. 😀ruclips.net/user/sgaming/emoji/7ff574f2/emoji_u1f600.png
Good luck for those who do not have another windows machine.
make a vm and use that
@@OratileMojapelo imagine that this is the only machine that you have and no bootable USBs. What would you do then?
Brother I have intel i5-6th generation hp Laptop and what you recommend doesn't work for me Plz help me Because without drivers It's bot skipping to next It's required for the windows to install because i am installing windows 11 ltsc version.
Its actually saying "Install driver for Displaying hardware so that your device will be discoverable"
Plz tell me what's the solution Thankyu
THANK YOU!! 6 hours into troubleshooting and your video worked perfectly! I followed the others and copied the RTS folder. Just wished I found it sooner. Thanks again!
Omg you helped me so much, i dont know if it will actually work, but at least it finally showed my drives. For anyone else, i copied the whole rst folder onto the usb and then went through the folders in the installation and then chose the first driver.
Thanks so much it was just what I needed. When I tried to use the first version with the Microsoft download, I put it in a folder named Drivers and copied it to the Windows 11 usb boot drive and it couldn't find the drivers though I could see the Drivers folder. Then I took the drivers out of the folder and put them right in the main Windows 11 directory. Still didn't work but I could see the driver files. So then I went to Asus, my motherboard, to download what I thought would be the necessary drivers and copied them into the main Win 11 directory and finally I got the files you had on the screen. Yay! Thanks for knowing we might need a plan B.
Thanks for your detailed explanation! Glad you got it sorted out.
Hi friend, the video is indeed useful but copying sys file alone won't work at all, you also need to copy 'inf' file along with sys files to let 'load driver' screen recognize the storage controller and the drive. Thanks anyway!
Thanks! Yeah, a lot of people have commented that exact same thing! Thanks though!
If the first solution didnt work try the second will when you look up your drivers for the motherboard make sure you look for vmd drivers then you put thst whole folder into the usb and it will show up and work
Thanks for this 👍🏻
Thanks for the video - however, I needed to copy the whole RST map onto my USB and then I succeeded. Still a very helpful video, thanks!
You're welcome!
You actually saved my computer's life, lol. Not downloading Linux for a while xD
Good to know! lol 🤣
It was the best educational method that I have seen for this problem. Thank you for taking the time to make this tutorial
You're very welcome!
A year later and this perfectly solved my problem. Thank you so much!
Thanks buddy! Your tutorials have helped me a lot. I also watched your tutorial on how to create a Windows 11 installation USB using Rufus, then I had this error here haha. One thing I can confirm at least for me is that it DOES work on Acer PC's, so anyone seeing this should not be automatically discouraged based on what another commenter here stated. I know for a FACT that my Acer has a proprietary motherboard, and I had no issues. I did read the comments beforehand and copied the entire VMD folder onto the USB haha, so there's that. So we can delete the TEMP and RST folders after we're done, right? This is just a one time thing, correct?
Thanks so much for your comment! I'm so glad you got it working on your Acer pc. Yeah, when you're done you can delete those folders.
@@memstechtips Thanks brother! I appreciate it! And you're welcome 😃. I subbed! Well I subbed yesterday when I wrote the comment, but you get my drift haha
What drivers would work for a xeon 2135?
Hello, I am Geeting the same issue hard drive is not visible, i follow all the steps copy the software in a pen drive and insert in the server where want to install, Brouse it, and select the pen drive folder but software is not visible in the desired window.
please help
Sorry my friend, but other than this video I can't provide any other support.
I am using mac to create the bootable USB. How do I do the things you did on powershell??
worked! you have to disable the VMD in BIOS if possible in order for it to work.
Yes, I did it the same for ASUS laptop vivobook 15 ..... Just disable VMD in BIOS and the HHD became visible for WIndows installation. Now I see this comment and can confirm that this work in some cases.
F.Y.I:
The tutorial did not resolve my case and finally I guessed I need to change my bios storage (of a Ubuntu DEll Vostro 3420 laptop) from RAID On to AHCI/NVME.
I'm far from understanding why/what I did but it worked out.
Thanks a lot for your tutorial
Thanks for sharing!
Adding the whole RST folder to the usb worked for me.
Thanks for the feedback.
I followed these instructions, i even put all the drivers from VMD into the usb and couldnt get windows to acknowledge that i have any drivers in the usb.
Can you recommend any next steps?
What computer are you using? If it's a fairly new one, go into your bios settings and disable any settings you see labeled "VMD" - It should work then without even having to install additional drivers.
I only ran into this issue when I downloaded the ISO file and used another iso to usb software, instead of allowing media creation tool to burn the iso.

Hi, I did this and it worked and I got the clean wipes and install but then on the windows 11 set up process it's not showing my router and only giving the lan option. Does this mean my WiFi driver is gone and I need to bring my pc downstairs just to connect ethernet to set up and download WiFi driver ? Thanks btw
The fix didn't work I have a asus vivobook br1504za-bq361, and starting without boot usb i find the info regarding the SSD: WD PC SN560 SSD PNQE-1T00-1102 and X1504ZA. The ASUS support video solved it ruclips.net/video/HuCY0ChsqAM/видео.html

While watching this video it all of The sudden popped up, so i guess i still need to thank you just for your pressence? 😂
Lol I'm glad my presence was helpful! 🤣
SO IN ORDER TO FIX MY WINDOWS INSTALLATION! I NEED TO ALREADY HAVE WINDOWS INSTALLED GOT IT THANKS 👍
I dont usually leave comments :D but man :D u saved my life and life of my brand new MSI laptop :D great work
I had the issue where it didnt detect the drivers, followed the top comment and it detects the drivers and now windows has another error saying i need to contact my vendor for updated drivers
Hmm okay are you sure you have the latest drivers for your hardware?
@memstechtips Yeah so I managed to fix it on my own, I re-download the files from Intels website then I put the file on the SAME usb I was installing windows with. Windows finally accepted the drivers when I did this and it installed with no issues
So why cant we just share the file?
Thanks, man! It helped me with an issue on a laptop that I'm working on.
Great to hear!
Subscribed and liked man, this was spot on what I needed. I love the internet and YOU!
Awesome! I'm glad the guide helped you out! 😀 Much Love ♥
Didn’t work 😢 I tried 10th gen version. Win 10 pro installer wasn’t finding compatible driver in the whole RST folder copied over. I could see some listed when I unticked “show only compatible drivers” and tried one but it didn’t work. My PC is Lenovo C30 Workstation Type 1136 with Xeon E5-1650 v2. Any ideas?
That's unfortunate sorry, you should go to the Lenovo C30 support page and check if they have any storage drivers there, put those on a USB flash drive and see if you can use that during installation. Hope it helps!
Or just turn off rapid Intel storage setting on ur bios save and restart. Then boot from USB again, fixes it 90% of the time.
Yes this also works! As well as turning off Intel VMD if you have that setting.
This didnt work. What did work was redownloading windows 11 installer. Turns out the issue wasnt my ssd or any hardware, it was a bad windows iso download.
I have also had that issue before, thanks for sharing!
in my case it wont extract the files. It opens up during the instalation a new partition that is empty and by the time it is done it closes it. no trace of any file installed
Is there a Windows 11 version or does it work for both?
TLDR: Wasn't driver problem for me, ASUS Tuf Gaming laptop had RAID enabled in the BIOS so I turned it off and the drives came straight up.
Disable the Intel Volume Management Device (VMD) technology which is in the advanced settings of the BIOS on Asus laptops and the drives should appear.
You're absolutely right, this doesn't just affect ASUS laptops, it's basically any new laptop that has VMD enabled in the BIOS. Thanks for your comment!
thanks!
For laptops you can just try turning off vmd control in bios it worked for me
Mine load for a while and says “something went wrong we will restart for you”. Any help?😢
I'm not sure why, sorry...
Thank you for showing in easy Way - Worked
I'm going to try this soon since my laptop doesn't want to detect my old SSD that I put in. I hope it works!
EDIT: Worked like a charm! Thank you for that PowerShell explanation, I would have never understood where and how to extract the drivers since I can't access my laptop.
Great! Have you tried it yet? Excited to hear if it worked or not?
@@memstechtips Yes, it did! Thank you so much!
Awesome! So glad to hear that.@@WorgenWorld
FACTS - Thank you Mate
The problem is,when i run as a administrator in Windows PowerShell and type in cd c:/temp i get a respons such as "Cd: cannot find path because it doesnt exists" even tho i made the file and copied the SetupRST...how can fix it?
Okay, can you try and just name the folder anything else, ex. create a new folder on the c: drive and name it tempdrivers then just change to path in the command to cd c:/tempdrivers and try again?
Hi Meneer, worked first time for me! Thank you very much!

my pc says an operating system was not found once i inserted my drive. any help ?
Did you install Windows to that drive yet? If yes, try and look at your BIOS settings and change settings related to Legacy or UEFI boot and SATA controllers.
When I click on the usb in the windows setup it gives me the screen no signed device drivers were found and nothing else pops up
What is your computer make & model number?

First solution worked for me on hp pavilion 11th generation thank you mate
Great! So glad to hear that.
Thanks! It works for me but it needs to copy all folder rts and windows recognise what he need
Glad you could get it working! Thanks for your comment.
Bro i use AMD so what driver should i use btw i will install win8
There should be drivers on your motherboard webpage that you can use.
It worked like magic! Thanks brotha! ❤️
Omg, you're a true legend for this tutorial video. God bless you, sir!
Absolutely one of the best instruction videos, perfect from beginning to the end, step-by-step instructions.

Thank you so much!
I was ready to go to the shop and ask them 50$ initial setup 😅
Glad I could help!
what about AMD systems? which drivers to download and where from :(
I get all the way to 4:20 but then it hits me with the driver is not compatible with this hardware do I need to get a different driver I’m confused
Ok my pc had only ssd suddenly it crashed opened bios again and again. I saw ssd is not detecting and bcs only ssd had my os install there I'm unable to do anything can you suggest any help?
Perfect. Of course I get an Internal Error code: 0x00000025 when trying to run that command in powershell. Says the Intel Rapid Storage Technology installer ran into a problem. Which I checked what the error code means and it is beyond me. FML...
Thanks, IRST driver method worked.
Can you turn off your pc when its doing the windows setup?
Mine is showing 0.0mb unallocated space and I have tried all method using cmd, diskpart, list disk, select disk, clean and still not working. Still showing 0.0mb unallocated space. Please who can help me 😢
Your drive might be physically faulty, I would try another drive or try our drive in another pc to do fault finding and determine where the issue might be.
@@memstechtips Thank you 🙇
It doesnt show up on the "where do you want to install windows"screen
So you don't see your drive listed at all?
It worked perfectly on my Optiplex 7010. Thank you!
After inserting my usb with the rts folder in it, it won't show the other folders inside the RTS fold and when I ejected the usb and transferred it to another working laptop, it seems that all contents on the rts folders are deleted 😢 can someone help me?
i have linux and no windows machines, can you make a version for manjaro linux?
Maybe in the future yeah but not anytime soon, sorry
Why the hell is all of these tutorials use a second computer, as if everyone has 2 or 3 computers just laying around conveniently.
You can use a significant others computer, a friend's computer or even a public internet cafe? Sometimes the only way to fix something is using another pc unfortunately.
Thank you , your information solve the problem , i have searched , finally i found solution on your Video 😀👍👍👍
Welcome 👍 So glad I could help!
ahhhh i don't have a windows computer I only have mac.. is there another way that doesn't use a exe file?
Unfortunately no, I don't know of another method... You'll have to ask a friend to borrow their Windows PC :)
This video was extremely helpful !
Glad it helped!
for me it detects the drivers on the usb, but they are all incompatible with my intel 11th gen processor :/, and when i upload all the drivers to my laptop the disk still doesnt show
Same, but on amd.
Check your bios to see if you have a VMD setting and turn it off, then try again.
@@Alex-mc5yn for me it worked when i downloaded windows as iso file, then via rufus software imported it on usb stick. As shown in this video ruclips.net/video/WAXvVnw0cfw/видео.html
Thanks for the video, it really helped!
Glad to hear it!
Im struggling with this and all other solutions. Ive tried going to the mobo manufacturer site as well. I will get to where the installer will recognize the drivers are compatible but will not install the drivers. Ive tried RST and Sata drivers. No luck. Tried different ports and USB sticks.
Could this be a sign of a larger issue? I am trying to replace a hard drive that crashed, maybe its the motherboard that is malfunctioning. I am not sure, I cant get anything to work.
worked great my friend great video!!!
Glad it helped
Does this work if I have a AMD cpu
Does it work for amd?
Thanks buddy. Great Guide!
It didnt created RST folder for me even when i created rst folder and put the commands it didnt work :/
The process definitely does work, just try and follow it again step-by-step.
yep same - it does not create the RST folder or extract anything
Thank you so much man. 👏👏
You're welcome!
where is the decription which u talk there
Hi I wanted To thank you so much For helping you made my Day :)
No problem 😊 Always a pleasure!
Thank you very much. You solved a very frustrating problem.😀
Great to hear & you're welcome!
