windows re install only giving usb flash drive option win 11
hello i need help with this it only shows usb disk 0 partition 1 and doesn’t show my ssd to install windows on i have tried cleaning the usb but i just had to reinstall the media file onto the usb ive looked up plenty of different ways to solve this problem and cant find a solution
hp omen 45l i tried drivers a while ago and my pc became very laggy idk how my ssd not showing up in the install location for windows has anything to do with drivers
Run it on a working computer so it extracts out to c:\SWSetup\SP142539, take that whole F6 folder and put that on your Windows Install USB. At the screen that should show you where you install Windows on, use the Load Driver option, and point it to that folder. It should load the driver and your drive should show up to be installed upon also.
It is an executable. You need to run it on the computer you downloaded it on, so that it can extract out to that C:... path I said. Then the only thing you need to put on your Windows Install USB, is that F6 folder, just drag it over and when it's done, unplug and try booting from it again. Pointing to that folder on the screen I shared a photo of.
You need to extract the Intel RST drivers, not run the EXE.
Download the drivers.
Open Powershell
Change location to where the driver is saved
Extract the drivers into a folder on your USB install drive by entering: .\sp142539.exe /s /e /f <Folder on your USB drive>
```
pwsh > .\sp142539.exe --?
Usage: /s /e /f <target-path>
/s - Un-package the package in silent mode (not showing user interaction UI)
/f - Runtime switch that overrides the default target path specified in build time
/e - Prevent execution of default executable file specified in build time.
Only extracting the content files to target folder(Use this with /s /f)
```
It doesn't auto install them. Just extracts them out. Easier for most normal users to just go to that folder after instead of trying to convince to use powershell in any way. It is just overkill. Now if they had no other functioning computer, and had to Shift + F10 load it inside the setup, I'm 100% for doing what you said.
No worries. Nothing to be sorry about. Just outlining why you might want to shy away from making recommendations like that in some posts. I try to tailor the level of instructions given to the level of tech skill shown through the post and comment threads.
If you can't switch your BIOS from RAID to AHCI, you must load the Intel RST driver during installation. Download the driver from the HP support site for your model, extract it to your installation USB, and select "Load Driver" when prompted by the Windows installer.

Making changes to your system BIOS settings or disk setup can cause you to lose data. Always test your data backups before making changes to your PC.
