No Drivers Were Found Click Load Driver To Provide A Mass Storage Driver For Installation Windows 7

[Shantelle Wenske]

Iran the diskpart command: list volume, and it showed up as "Raw". So, I formatted it to NTFS and then it showed up as a healthy drive in diskpart. I also ran check disk on it with no errors. Windows 7 installer STILL can't find the drive. As far as BIOS settings, I have tried "Native IDE", AHCI, and Both AHCI/IDE mode (SATA slots 0-2 AHCI, 3-4 IDE). I tried all combinations... still "no drives were found".

At this point, I'm just scratching my head. Using the installation dos window, I can see and talk to the drive just fine, but the installer just doesn't see it at all. I've even written folders and files to the drive, and it still "can't be seen". Any help would be great.

I've had this issue with some HP machines that would refuse to see drives when connected to the IDE slots when BIOS was set to both. I very rarely need to load SATA drivers during win7 setup. You could also try accessing the Startup repair console and see if you can find your disk from there.

For me, the problem was caused by missing drivers. Windows Vista does not include the the drivers for my Serial ATA Controller. I was confounded by this because I had actually been to the driver page before, but dismissed them as being incorrect drivers because they were NVIDIA (NVIDIA makes SATA drivers?)

Which I stopped using ctrl+C after 32GB was copied (way more than the recovery partitions sizes, and they were all the the start of the disk). Of course, I also did "sync". Nevertheless, although the recovery tools started correctly from the SSD, there was no "fresh install" options. Since I'm not familiar with windows at all, and I was only doing this swap for friends, I decided not to look in to it too much, and bought a non-OEM windows 7 disk.

Ultimately I found that the original (untouched) HD was detected by the install disk, hence I concluded the error was not related to missing chipset or HD controller drivers. Hence I recreated the partition table on the SSD using gparted on linux, which needs to be MBR (msdos in gparted) for some reason, since GPT also does not work.

I have a HP Envy 4 - 1046tx Ultrabook and the operating system is Windows 8.1 64-bit. While downgrading to Windows 7 64 bit I was unable to find the hard drives. In the installation screen it showed me "No drives were found. Click Load Driver to provide a mass storage driver for installation.".

I downloaded all the versions (from latest to the oldest) of Intel Rapid Storage Technology drivers and tried installing them one by one but they didn't work and still the hard drives aren't visible. But if I use a Windows 8 installation disc and install the driver the hard drives are visible.

I tried these steps a lot. But, this didn't work for me. Might work for others. I am staying with Windows 8.1 for a while and I will continue finding some other ways. If I find the solution will immediately post the solution in this thread. Thanks to Paul_Tikkanen for helping me!

Thanks for replying.

I have already tried installing all the versions of Intel Rapid Storage Technology Drivers both 32-bit and 64-bit (from latest version to the most oldest version) the compatible driver shows up, I tried installing it too but, it didn't work. Is there any other way to solve this?

So do you want me to slipstream an Windows XP disc, burn it and install XP first and then do you want me to install Windows 7? Will this work? I haven't tried this ever, I read an article yesterday about slipstreaming XP disc with nlite but that was not clear enough so, I skipped it.

This is the first time am also failing in installing an operating system. When I was about to upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8 Pro I preferred for a clean install, the same problem occurred and I used the SATA drivers you mentioned and it detected the drives.

I did the same thing you did...knew the exact name of the sata controller and tried to check the box to only include the compatible driver, and manually tried to install the driver I knew to be the correct one. NADA!

I have attached the drivers you need to slipstream because the ones in the document do not include the Series 7 ahci or RAID drivers you need (I don't know whether your model uses the AHCI or RAID driver).

But I assume you do since hopefully you looked in the device manager either under the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers category (if AHCI) or in the Storage Controllers category (if RAID) to determine the exact name of the sata controller you need.

Whenever I check the compatible drivers option and search for the drivers the compatible driver that appears is Intel Mobile Express Chipset SATA RAID Controller(iaStor). This is RAID right?

In between, I have another doubt. In Step 5, while installing Windows 7, will the same screen (the screen asking for SATA drivers) appear again? If it appears, should I use the same driver you have provided me (XP32) or am I supposed to use the latest version of Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver?

Have my first issue with my very first build after using computers and remembering the days before the interweb. I intended to be ambitious and to maybe over build with some headroom for future upgrades. Whatever I own I do try to ensure I get the best out of it and to that end I am bumping against installing Win10 after Raid 0 the two drives within the Bios. I have gone through the videos of trying to load bottom drivers then raid config but i still get get the windows setup to see them as raided drives. I need a detailed idiots guide rather than a detailed expert guide if that makes sense. Any help with videos or pdf's......at 43 I am feel it might be like teaching someone to use a spoon. Will continue my own searching and googling as there must be something I am missing.

3.Enter the Raidxpert2 menu in BIOS, you need to initialise (writes some data to the drives to prepare them for Raid) all hard drives that will be used for Raid. This option will be in the Raidxpert2 menu, so check all options.

I try raid 0. In bios I'm creating raid, and at first glance everything is fine (I can add screenshots from the BIOS). Then I made a bootable USB flash drive and added drivers there. During installation, I add 3 drivers sequentially from the DD folder, they are installed, but still two nvme disks are displayed.

Strange thing. tried again from the beginning. In the BIOS, I left SATA in AHCI mode (before that stood in raid), and nvme as raid. I got to the driver installation and this time I could not install anything from the nvme_did folder, the list was empty, like "incompatible with my equipment". But from the nvme_cc folder (for a different processor) - success, and one disk appeared! While everything seems to be established and working, I observe.

I used the NVMe_DID drivers, browsing to and then installing rcBootom, RCRaid, and RCfg in that order. It made no difference - after installing all three drivers and doing a refresh, the Windows installer still sees two separate NVM drives and can't install.

However, from reading AMD NVMe/SATA RAID Quick Start Guide for Windows Operating Systems I've seen that this can happen when the system has multiple controllers, so no problem - I choose the first one.

Yes, drivers will be provided and added to that page when they become available. For now you can use the previous drivers for Windows 11. I am using them on my Windows 11 installation with 2 drives in Raid 1 configuration.

Prior to installing Windows I configured 2 RAID arrays. There are 4 hard disks and I split them into two logical disks with RAID 1. (I had initially configured RAID 10, but later deleted the array and configured the above). I also ran a diagnostics check on the disks to ensure they were working fine.

I then copied the contents from an OS cd to a USB (server has no CD/DVD tray) and commenced the installation. Upon receiving the error above I attempted to download a few drivers from HP for my server's model that related to storage and copied them to the USB. Whilst installing Windows I tried browsing to the location on the USB where I have copied the drivers however Windows didn't detect any compatible drivers.

To me it seems like a driver issue as the RAID controller is able to identify the disks without any problem. One thing that dawned on me though is that the server uses a SATA controller but the hard disks are SAS. Could this be an issue? I seem to find conflicting info on the web as to whether or not they are compatible. I didn't buy the hard disks however my boss told me he was sure they were compatible at the time.

But still the error during the install seems more related to drivers than hardware? surely the RAID config utility would of had an issue detecting the hard disks? Also when copying the drivers to the USB is it fine to copy them to any location or is there a default location that I should be copying them to?

I just created a folder on the usb called Drivers (that also contains the OS) and copied the driver there but when installing Windows and browsing to the folder it doesn't detect any compatible drivers...

HP Dynamic Smart Array B120i Controller is an up to 6Gb/s SATA controller. It supports up to 6 SATA drives with RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID10 capabilities. RAID 5 is available with optional FBWC module on selected server models.

Since ORCA is no longer able to be entered at boot-time on the console, I ended up booting HP's offline array configuration utility (via PXE or iLO "scripted media", and there it showed that the cache wasn't configured. Once I set the default read/write ratio, the HBA behaved normally.

i purchased one server last week. just now open the machine switch on continuous sound heard. i informed customer case their send one case id no-4748873001. cus was shouting . what i do. pl do the needful service
