    ok weird one i wanted to do dual booting on my prebuilt desktop. Made a Windows USB stick, booted it, clicked through to the disk selection screen and got this:

    Reboot and Select proper Boot device

    Reboot and Select proper Boot device
or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key

No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key

    No drives at all. The BIOS clearly shows the NVMe SSD with its correct model and size. i've remade the USB stick twice. Someone mentioned i might need ASRock H67M-ITX/HT Bios loaded during setup, but i've never had to do that before and i have no idea which file to point teh installer at :/ Help me before i return a prefectly good SSD.

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

    Alternative: disable VMD in teh BIOS (sometimes listed under storage or advanced settings). Then Windows sees the NVMe with its inbox driver. Only do this for a clean install; on an existing install, switching stroage mode makes Windows unbootable.
