Your brand-new SSD is invisible. Windows cannot see your storage device. This is not a hardware failure; it is an Intel Rapid Storage Technology (IRST) or VMD (Volume Management Device) driver issue. The file you need to resolve this is the archive.
The file contains the Intel Rapid Storage Technology (IRST) drivers required for Windows to "see" your hard drive or SSD during installation on 12th Gen Intel (and newer) systems.
This driver package is essential for installing Windows on a 12th Gen Intel system with VMD active. Preloading it via the F6 method during setup resolves the “no drives found” error.
: Standard Windows 10 and Windows 11 retail installation media (created via the Microsoft Media Creation Tool) do not pre-load the low-level Intel Rapid Storage Technology (IRST) VMD controller drivers.
