I'm trying to reinstall Windows 11 Pro on my HP Spectre 14t-ea000 using a bootable USB. My laptop has an 11th gen Intel Core processor. To get the SSD recognized, I need to download the Intel Rapid Storage drivers. I've extracted the VMD files from the SetupRST.exe file and can see the drivers on the "Install driver to show hardware" page. However, I can't click the install button, even after selecting the driver. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

When you're trying to install the drivers, make sure to select the entire folder where the drivers are located, not just a specific file within it. Alternatively, consider switching your BIOS to AHCI mode if RAID isn't necessary for you. It generally improves performance and might bypass the driver issues you're experiencing altogether.
I appreciate the advice! I did select the folder, but I still can't click the install button. Just a heads up, I can only use the keyboard at the moment since my touchpad isn't working.
