If you’re having trouble with your HP 15-fc0527sa laptop, especially with the storage drive not being recognized, here’s what you need to know and how you can fix it.
First, it’s important to understand that this specific model comes with an AMD processor and chipset. Because of that, the driver for an Intel storage controller doesn’t apply here. AMD laptops don’t require any special storage controller drivers for Windows to detect the drive properly. Sometimes, issues like this happen without a clear reason. It could be caused by the way the installation media was created, or the USB drive used might not be compatible with the computer.
Unfortunately, there are no specific drivers that will fix this problem. The best solution is to create a recovery USB drive using another Windows PC. This recovery drive will reinstall the original HP factory image and should resolve the issue.
To do this, you’ll need a second Windows PC and a blank USB drive of at least 32 GB. Download the HP Cloud Recovery Tool from the Microsoft Store and use it to create the recovery USB. The process involves entering your laptop’s product number so the tool can prepare the right version of the recovery image.
Your laptop’s product number is BP9Q8EA#ABU. When you run the tool on another PC, make sure to enter this number during setup to ensure the recovery drive is correctly tailored for your device.
For detailed steps on how to use the HP Cloud Recovery Tool, you can visit HP’s official support page here. The recovery tool is easy to find and install from the Microsoft Store here.
Once the recovery USB is ready, insert it into your problematic laptop and restart the device. Follow the prompts to boot from the USB and reinstall the factory image. This should resolve your storage detection issue and restore your laptop to its original factory condition.
