Post screenshot of Disk Management.

All the commands ran successfully, and here is what my current Disk Management looks like

The idea is to create a new EFI partition to see if it works. Let's hold that idea for now.

Before that, can you try creating a fresh USB setup disk using the Media Creation Tool?

You can make a Windows 11 disk this time and see if diskpart lists the disks in WinRE.

Wait, I'm confused. Do you want me to download Windows 11 Media Creation Tool so we can use it to fix my problem? For clarification, my laptop is using Windows 10 22H2.

Yes, I know. Create the Windows 11 USB setup disk even if you have Windows 10 installed.

We will test whether DiskPart detects the disks when booted from the Windows 11 USB setup disk.

Oh okay, I am back (sorry for the wait time), finally finished downloading the installer. Should I start booting to recovery mode?

Yes, boot from the Windows 11 stick and see if diskpart lists your OS disk.

Unfortunately, it still has the same result.

If you click "Install Windows 11".

Do you see the list of disks in the upcoming screens?

Note:

Don't proceed to install Windows 11. We just want to check if the disks are detected.

It only showing me the flash disk, not detecting my laptop drive.

Ok. Please boot into Windows and run the following commands from admin Command Prompt.

dism /online /get-drivers /format:table >c:\drivers.txt

Run msinfo32.exe, press Ctrl + S to save the NFO log.

Share the file "c:\drivers.txt" and the NFO log file on OneDrive.

Here are the files you requested on my OneDrive: https://1drv.ms/f/c/377ba76e9e3426d9/EvRMj4vtdiZBiF-iuiJoXg0BS1aodwpE7XNreomnhqExFA?e=UF1RuD

This is very strange. One of your disks is HDD, even that's not detected.

I suppose BIOS sees both drives? Unfortunately, I can't find a BIOS manual for your model.

Does your BIOS have the RAID/Intel RST vs AHCI settings under the Storage option?

If VMD is enabled in the BIOS, we may need to inject the VMD driver into the WinRE image. The AHCI mode doesn't require any drivers.

Here is my BIOS details in case it would be helpful with the problem.

• It detect all my drives correctly (boot SSD, storage HDD, the flash disk) with no issue.
• It has Intel Rapid Storage feature but its functionality is above my knowledge.
• VMD is also enabled ever since I used this laptop.

Ok. Let's load the Intel VMD drivers in WinRE.

Boot into Windows normally and run these commands from admin Command Prompt:

(assuming F: is your USB setup disk.)

md F:\VMD
pnputil /export-driver oem50.inf F:\VMD
dir F:\VMD

Boot into WinRE using that USB setup disk.

In WinRE Command Prompt, run:

diskpart

select disk 0

list part

list vol

exit

Note the drive letter of your USB setup disk where the INF is located. Let's say it's C:\

Then, run:

drvload C:\VMD\iastorvd.inf

X:\sources>drvload C:\VMD\iastorvd.inf

DrvLoad: Successfully loaded C:\VMD\iastorvd.inf

What should I do next?

Now. let's see if the disks are shown.

Type the following commands:

mountvol Y: /s

diskpart

list disk

select disk 0

list part

select disk 1

list part

select disk 2

list part

list vol

exit

Post the output.

If the mountvol command shows an error, ignore and proceed to the next command.
