If you’re trying to install Windows 10 on your HP PC with an Intel 9th Generation processor and you’re seeing a message that no drives are found, don’t worry. This issue often happens because the installer doesn’t recognize your PC’s storage device, usually due to missing or incompatible drivers.
Here’s a simple step-by-step way to fix this:
First, make sure your PC is connected to the internet. You’ll need to download the correct storage drivers from the motherboard or PC manufacturer’s website. Go to the support page for your specific HP model and look for storage or chipset drivers suitable for Windows 10 and your processor.
Next, prepare a USB flash drive. Format it as FAT32 and copy the downloaded driver files onto it. When you’re ready to install Windows and the installer shows no drives, insert the USB with the driver files into your PC.
During the Windows installation process, when you reach the screen that asks where to install Windows, click on the “Load driver” option. Browse to the USB flash drive, select the driver folder, and load the driver. This step helps the installer recognize your storage device.
After the driver loads, your storage drive should appear in the list of available disks. Continue with the Windows installation as usual.
If this still doesn’t work, double-check that your storage drive is properly connected. Sometimes, changing SATA ports or resetting BIOS settings to defaults can help resolve detection issues.
Remember, keeping your BIOS updated can also prevent driver and hardware detection problems during OS installations. Check HP’s support site for instructions on updating your BIOS if needed.
Following these steps should help your PC recognize its drives during Windows 10 setup, making the installation process smoother.
