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.

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.

[gregoryprins]

Hi Meneer, worked first time for me! Thank you very much!

[mattfournier]

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.

[rcfrogman]

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 There were other videos like this about getting the SATA software driver update from Intel but they were old and outdated in how you had to extract and download them.

[twilightrealm]

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.

[WYLMAS]

Good luck for those who do not have another windows machine.

[tomsimpson]

Thank you very much. You solved a very frustrating problem.😀
