Windows 10 and 11 Clean Install M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD Not Detected Get Intel RST Driver or Disable VMD

All right .

So if you're trying to install windows 10 or 11 and you're not seeing your M 0.2 NVME Drive , um , it can be two things .

So first thing , we're gonna have to load a driver .

Ok .

I'm gonna browse for that .

I actually went to Intel's website .

So if you Google Intel V MD driver , um , it'll give you like the Intel rapid stored Mr uh Intel RST thing or whatever .

Um , and then you also get these Intel V MD drivers .

So you can try like the nonn Intel , non Intel V MD and you can do the Intel V MD .

So we're gonna try doing this first and see what happens .

So we'll click that we'll go to next , we'll let it install the driver and we'll see if the SSD , um , pops up or not .

So there's two different things .

It can be a driver issue or it can be , your SSD doesn't support the Intel V MD here .

You can see it didn't show any drive .

So we're gonna try again .

Let's try the non Intel V MD and actually there's no driver here .

Ok .

So , because we don't get the thing .

So here , you can see they have all these other , like Intel chip set .

So if you uncheck this , then you can see the other drivers .

Um , but it's hiding the ones that aren't compatible .

So , what we're gonna do , we're gonna quit the installation here .

We're gonna exit this .

Ok ?

And now what we're gonna do , we're gonna boot to the bios .

Uh , the customer here didn't set up their CPU , uh , fan connection properly , So it's gonna complain about that .

But uh this isn't what we're working on .

We're working on the , uh SSD detection issue .

So we're going to bios , it says press F two or delete .

So I'm pressing the delete key .

We should get into the Bios .

Here you go .

OK ?

So next thing we're going to do , we're going to go to advanced mode .

This is for a Seuss or a , uh A I or Asus motherboards .

We'll go to advanced mode .

Next , what we do ?

We go to advanced here , we have this system agent s a configuration .

Then you see this , um Sorry , where is it here ?

V MD setup menu .

All right .

So we'll go in there and all we gotta do is disable the V MD controller .

Um , and then say , OK , so I don't know if their SSD doesn't support it or their processor doesn't support it or if it really is just , maybe we have the wrong driver .

I don't know .

Um But for some reason it doesn't want to work with that .

We're gonna exit here .

We're gonna save changes and reset .

Ok ?

And then now we're gonna boot from the hard drive or the boot drive again or the boot installer pressing delete again .

Of course , it's gonna complain about the fan , right ?

Someone press delete .

OK .

F one to ignore the fan thing and we can also turn that setting off in there , but , uh , they should plug their fan into the right spot .

So that way it can know when to speed up properly .

All right , we're gonna go to the boot menu .

You can press fa or click there .

Then we're gonna boot from my USB .

Actually , I already got this working earlier .

Ok .

So we'll boot there and I selected the 64 bit option .

Ok .

Now we got the windows installer starting up .

Ok .

Right .

I accidentally pushed the volume button which is gonna turn off the recording if I let go .

So I gotta keep holding this button .

Hopefully , it's actually recording the whole thing .

Ok .

All right .

Here we go .

So I'm gonna go to next .

All right .

Enter , install .

Now , enter .

All right .

They didn't tell me if they have a windows license to , um , install .

So I'm gonna go , I don't have a product key .

I'm assuming they want Windows 10 home .

So I'll press enter there .

Ok ?

And it should be going there you go , Spacebar to accept the terms .

Enter .

Then we'll go down to custom and here you can see , we see the SSD now , so now you just install windows like normal and that should solve the problem .

Um , I'm not exactly sure 100% what the Intel V MD does .

Um , it says something about , like making stuff like hot swapper .

I don't know .

Um , you can Google that if you feel it's important , you can do some more research on finding the right driver or hardware to put in .

Um , but I think it's some drives don't support it and that's why it doesn't show up .

Um , anyways , that's pretty much it .

Hopefully this video helped you guys out .

Thanks for watching and I'll see you all in the next one .

Bye .
