There are a lot of post on this subject, but none quit fit my problem.

First, this drive (Crucial T700 Gen5) has had several clean installs of Win 11 on an Asus mobo and now my ASRock X870 Pro RS WiFi for a month. I had this issue once before on my Asus board and fed windows an AMD RAID driver or the Intel RST driver and installed 11.

My ASRock board is a month old, and I had Win 11 installed, then my video card went, I then used onboard graphics, but windows seem to have some issues, when I called up windows info for my install date, it listed it as Aug. 8th which is 4 months older than my board, so it was looking at Ms partitions created on a previous install. My discrete video card arrived, and I just wanted to start with a clean install of 11 and the old Ms partitions gone.

We know that my bios settings are correct because I already had Win 11 running, so there is no reason to say check your bios settings or change it to this.

I cleared the drive using ASRocks clear tool in the BIOS (v3.15), when I started my Win 11 install the drive of course was not seen in the boot section, and windows stopped right away saying its usual Driver Missing.

These drivers all failed to allow the install to proceed.
1. I have fed it the Intel RST driver.
2. ASRock RAID driver for my board model.
3. AMD RAID driver.
4. Crucial NVMe driver for my model.

I tried several Win 11 24H2 install USB drives, some create with Ms Media tool, others with Rufus. Also tried different ports on my PC.

I then went and got my M.2 USB enclosure and put my drive in it. Connected it to my laptop, opened disk management and created a Simple Volume, the drive formatted, and I was able to write and read from it.
Should I have created a Dynamic volume instead?

Any ways I can't get Win 11 to install, I even tried changing BIOS settings, also cleared the cmos, none of the drivers listed above were NOT the driver windows was looking for.

Help Please!]]> Wed, 15 Jan 2025 00:53:22 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=90523&PID=174615&title=bios-win-11-install-m-2-not-seen#174615
