Thank you! Excellent guide. Worked as demonstrated. I did not have the "F6" folder after downloading the IRST drivers but the necessary files were still located in the download. Thanks so much!
You saved my life!!!! Thanks a lot, sort of really struggling to find the issue with the hard drive not getting visible. Thanks a lot champ!! By the way from where did you get this information. God bless!
Glad to hear it was useful! 20yrs+ of working with 100s of Dell computers. Sometimes I get stumped and when I can't find a UA-cam video to help me I create that video. Usually after much research and/or calling Dell tech support to get the "best practice" solution.
What was your progression? Did you originally have the SATA as the only drive and it was your OS drive? I've had weird issues where I did the OS install on an SSD while the old HD was still plugged in (ie. 256 SSD with a 1TB HD) and the only solution was to reload W10 on the SSD with the SATA drive completely unplugged. Then after the install and updates, add the SATA back in, then it finds it and recognizes it. If you don't have the luxary of reloading from scratch there is a remote possibility that you could place the SSD in another computer to wipe it (delete partitions), then re-introduce it to your existing machine.
Usually that would be a hardware issue, such as when windows attempts to first kick start the graphics card it fails. But hopefully it will be just a software issue. If you google this issue, you'll find everyone pointing you to do a windows repair procedure. This is not what you want. You're doing a clean install not trying to repair an existing install. Hopefully you just have a slightly corrupted USB stick. I would simply try recreating that USB boot stick with the Media Creation Tool. Then try installation again from scratch. If it fails again, possibly try a different USB stick just to be sure. To check out your hardware, boot the laptop, then select F2, and select Diagnostics. That should verify all components or point out a possible failing SSD or RAM module. Pretty rare to see CPU or mainboard issues, I've seen this only on servers at a rate of 3 to 1000. You can also give the Dell creation tool a try. www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/drivers/osiso/recoverytool/wt64a You can also call Dell. 800-822-8965. Just verbally say "Technical Support" then say "Desktop". A human should talk with you quickly. Also have ready your Express Service Tag on the bottom of the laptop handy. If it's under warranty, you're golden. If not, don't worry, I think they will still help you for free to diagnose and then give you repair options and pricing. Also be aware you can ask to re-instate the warranty for $50~$70. Possibly might have to do that online, might take a day or two. Just go to dell.com/support then punch in your Service Tag, then Warranty, then Extend.
Verify that the drive is physically there and can be seen by going into the BIOS and making sure you can read the specs on the drive. If you can see it, the next experiment would be to turn off raid for that drive, then attempt the w11 install.
@@hgodtx yes i see the ssd in bios, and I have ahci/nvme enabled. tried to install the Intel driver as well but it doesn't seem to install. (Intel rst vmd controller) I also disabled Security boot and nothing worked
@@ElionildoMiranda Maybe that F6 driver will not play with W11. Looks like there is a RST release that specs w11, check out this page here: www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/products/55005/technologies/intel-rapid-storage-technology-intel-rst.html
@@hgodtx thanks for trying to help, I've downloaded all the Intel drivers I found and nothing works, is being a pain in the ass because I do not have another computer available so all attempts I have to keep ssd to access Windows, I've updated the BIOS but does not solve too, this last link that posted only saw .exe to download and I have not seen zip file to put on a SD card. maybe some way to clone Windows and move on to the new ssd?

Any fix advice(s) will be appreciated.

@@ElionildoMiranda how about digressing to w10 for the install them perform a w11 upgrade?
