I’m having an issue while installing Windows from a USB drive on my MSI PRO B760M-A WIFI motherboard. During the Windows setup process, I get a message saying: “Install driver to show hardware,” and I’m unable to proceed because no drives are detected. It seems like the installer is not recognizing my storage device. I suspect this might be related to missing storage/VMD/RAID drivers, but I’m not sure which exact driver I need or how to properly load it during installation.

Is your storage drive detected in BIOS?

also, is it set to AHCI or RAID mode in BIOS
merry fulcrum

rigid torrent
Alright ill boot into my BIOS and see if that’s the case
merry fulcrum

yeah, it pops up with a message saying the machine is not compatible if you are in csm mode
rigid torrent
merry fulcrum
you want to be in uefi mode
and you want to disable any intel vmd stuff
sadly, msi doesnt have a bios guide for this board

Should i just get a clean one? Maybe that’s why it doesn’t find my hardware
