Download the file from link below, extract it to a flash drive, or use same flash drive you use to Install Windows 10 or 11.
Download link from Intel:

Thanks for watching, Dale

Thanks Dale, you are always ready to help!!

[@adiposerex5150]

It would help if Windows had all these drivers in its install software. Too little, too late at Microsoft.

[@techead23]

Thanks for the video. You're the only person I've seen that's actually showing the file that you need to download, everyone else is like "you find it on intel"

[@nikixristov]

Love you! :) Saved my day as well. Thank you for the help and happy holidays!

Thanks for much! Only video I've found that fixed my problem!

[@aslansheykhi1619]

Thx man, this video helped me alot :). Keep up the good work!

[@CarlosZ34NSM]

Thank you so much! They changed the procedure slightly because you can no longer download just that file. You have download the setupRST.exe then you have to use the terminal to extract it by copying ./SetupRST.exe -extractdrivers SetupRST_extracted into termial/powershell (not command prompt) once you do that it extracts it and then you put those extracted files on the usb. when you select browse you have to click through all the folders and I believe its called vmd select that one and it will appear as the selected drive you do that it installs and shows all the drives! First intel build and this was beyond annoying I spent all day trying to figure this out.

[@borki4]

This worked!!!!! THANK YOU!!

[@JJ-QS]

For anyone trying to do this now, make sure you get the right `SetupRST` file for you computer model, but the rest of the steps are the same. Browse for the VMD folder to select the driver.

[@Solaricis]

@@JJ-QSim having issues extracting it when im typing the exact same lines into terminal

[@JJ-QS]

@@Solaricis are you typing ` ./SetupRST.exe -extractdrivers SetupRST_extracted` into the terminal (without the backticks `)? That is the command I used.

Thank you so much. I was having trouble trying to get windows 10 back on a system for my mother. She got so adjusted to 10 & didn't want to stick with 11.

[@younessbarouri2318]

WORKED ! For my ACER SWIFT 3 . THANK YOU

[@ytguy2010]

Just to clarify, you want to download the VMD driver (not the non-VMD driver). I have only come across this problem with 11th gen laptop CPU's on all brands (HP/Dell/Lenovo/Acer). 10th gen laptop CPU's and earlier don't have this problem. Also, 11th gen desktop CPU's don't have this problem either.

[@CadillacComputerCenter]

Thank you, I clarified that in the description.

[@bi-woozy4081]

do i need a hard drive to do this

[@mtzkustom7818]

I'm trying to do this on 12th gen Desktop it's still not showing up after the driver install. Any help? I'm jumping from 9th to 12th gen, but can't install windows I'm at a dead stop at this point. Thanks

Hi Dale! Thanks for the video. Will the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology Driver work with my Intel Atom processed Laptop's eMMC drive which is manufactured by SanDisk. I'm trying to install a Tiny 11 Windows 11 iso as listed on the internet Archive and the installer doesn't detect my eMMC drive. Any suggestions for a solution to this

[@kaloianhadjiev3222]

Thank you man, you helped me a lot .

[@MitchF-nh8rh]

thanks for the info. For the most part, your video helped me. 2 additional notes; I had to actually pick the 3rd Intel Rapid Storage zip file cause my DELL laptop has an INTEL processor (the 2nd one is for non-Intel). Once I used this one and extracted it to a USB drive, all was good. Also, while all my drives showed up, they were all unavailable & locked at first cause of bitlocker. In order to bypass this, I basically had to delete ALL partitions (5 of them). Since I was doing a total clean install and didn't have any data to worry about, this was not a problem for me. Just keep this in mind too. Again, thanks for the info

[@jembaucan9042]

yup 3rd one works for me also

[@alexisg8318]

yeah they only have 1 on the website now. i found this one linked in the comments of another video but it didn’t work for me it still doesn’t show my drive. here’s the link incase it works for you

[@khunglongidep5661]

can u send me the non vmd zip file

[@arshiqumer689]

Hi, where can i find the link for the vmd one?

[@manueltorres4878]

Ok so I’ve done everything but when I choose my folder it doesn’t load anything but then when I uncheck hide drivers that aren’t compatible with computer’s hardware 2 option appear but either one I choose doesn’t work it just loads the green bar like if it’s loading but the green bar never reaches the end and when it finishes nothing happens?

[@kingdomrecordingstudio9436]

Thank you so much, this save me a lot of headaches..

[@almedogjurgji]

Great video. Would like to make an important question in my case concerning the most recent dell computers that come with raid as an active drive controller (intel rst active) and not ahci. The problem is that whenever i try to boot into these machines in a winpe environment with the Strelec package if you know that, in order to reset the admin password if i cannot log into it or just backup the data of a user into an external hdd before reinstalling windows if the precedent os is damaged and cannot be repaired, the internal hdd-s or ssd-s or just the os directories into the drives are invisible. I click on “This PC” and there’s only my usb visible and nothing else. I made a search on the internet and it seems it has something to do with the intel rst driver that abstracts the hdd from the os. Please help me, what should i do in this case in order to be able managing the pc even when the pc is unbootable or just the admin password is not recognized

[@VinaykanthK]

tried doing this in two 12th gen HP desktops. no matter what drive i use, it starts MICRO FREEZING after couple of minutes of usage and runs normally for next few minutes and loops back again.. i tried using 980 PRO w & w/0 heat sink, WD SN 850 and also samsung 970 evo plus. so i had to switch it back to SLOW OEM drive and everything runs normal. have you seen any cases like that ?

[@gusdrado4390]

Hi thank you so much this worked for me with my 12th Gen Acer Nitro 5

[@IvanSanchez-jl2zx]

what about now that intel removed the file from the website?

[@bigarch675]

So this worked for me to get past the window when it loads the files to boot windows fresh, but when it does the force restart at the end I end up back where I started with no RST drivers on the computer, how can I solve this?

[@behesht1333]

Tanx man ... It's so helpful 😘

[@vaxismaximus7961]

How would I fix this issue if I had formatted the drive that was locked with bit locker ? When I get to install windows 11 it says there’s no drives for me to install on and when I liskdisk it only shows the removable storage usb with the iso on it

i have an HP DW0083WM i have tried the link you have their in the description but the have remove both these zip files i found them on other sites but they dont work do you have any other suggestions

[@pythgoreansassistant2789]

What's the technical reason for why this is happening? Shouldn't intel be investigating this? I ran into this problem when building my pc with a 12400f and B660M-A mb. I had to look it up for a couple of days before someone mentioned turning off vmd controller. It worked after this but what in the world is a vmd controller? Why put it on the consumer to manually download drivers just to install windows?

[@viman8270]

When i am on the Intel site it doesn't show me the VMD and non VMD .....just the setupRST can you help me.....?!?!

[@smarthalayla6397]

There are no more F6flpy option to download, Only the "SetupRST". Where can we get it? Any chance you share your F6flpy file with us?

Really useful video. Thank you very much

[@florindelureanu4597]

Hellow, i know that your video is not very recent but currently i have the same problem. I really Done everything as you recommended and also the other clips from youtube with the same content. I see that all of you, including the people that comment below had a really success. My problem is here: After i put the most recent driver on the USB flash (with windows 10 on) i need to press click on the stick to expand and to show me the folders from inside. The problem is that it does not expand at all and practically i cannot see the content from the USB Flash. It still give me the same text: "No signed device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers." But again does not expand when i press click. DO you know what is the problem? I think even if i don t have a driver on the USB Flash still need to let me to expand to see the folders from inside, no?

Same have you solved it?

@@janneplayz2370 I ended up having to move the ssd into the 3rd slot because the first and second didn’t acknowledge it’s existence for some reason in the first or second slots, maybe try moving your parts around to make sure it can register it, because I had this problem with 2 PCs in a row

[@jero7053]

does windows 11 have this one or they already updated their drivers and we will not face this one when installing

[@secordpd]

I tried to use that driver from intel but somehow it not work (could of been me). I went to laptop maker (Dell) and downloaded the Intel RST driver for my laptop and it still wasn't loading. I was naïve enough to think it would automatically find it in folder... NOT... Then I went through the whole folder and found the vmd driver, clicked on that and wala - problem was solved. Thanx Dale!!!

[@BoJoeYouKnow]

I keep finding videos that say this exact same thing. But, what no one mentions is what the people that have AMD processors are supposed to do. I have a skytech gaming pre-built. It has an AMD in it. So what website conveniently has a group of drivers for my system? Or can I just use the Intel ones until I get up and running?

it says I got no signed drive letters found in the driver folder tho

[@abdulsheikh640]

Thank ... Helpful

[@stevec5000]

I've tried this and it doesn't work because the installer never finds the driver. The problem isn't with the i3 or chipset but it's due to the fact that OS installation utilities don't recognize an NVMe SSD as a real drive that is bootable so an OS can't be installed on them in a desktop computer or anything else either.

[@harshtech8443]
