    guys pls help windows setup cant see my SSD on a freshly built PC.

    the installer just shows an empty list and a "Load driver" button. I'm doing replacing teh SSD, so teh drive is supposed to be wiped anyway. BIOS detcets it fine 😭 I read about Intel VMD and RST, and that some laptops need a storage driver at install time... where do I get that driver and what do I do with it?

    ahh classic extract teh package, copy the folder with teh .inf, .sys and .cat files to the install USB, then in setup click Load driver > Browse and select that folder. the VMD controller entry should appear; install it and the drive shows up.

    ok so if the download is an EXE, many installers support extraction, e.g... running it with -extractdrivers <folder> or a similar switch documented on the support page, otherwise, 7-Zip can often open it directly. fingers crossed 🤞
