Why can’t I see my internal partitions during Windows 11 installation?

I'm trying to do a clean install of Windows 11, but my internal partitions aren't showing up during the setup. The only option available is my USB drive, which has the HDD formatted in NTFS. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

If you can see the drive in BIOS but not during the install, make sure your SATA hard drive doesn’t require a specific driver. Get the necessary drivers onto the USB you're using for installation and use the 'Load driver' option during the setup.

Does the drive appear in your BIOS settings? If it's visible there, that's a good sign! But if it's not, you might need to check your connections or jumper settings.

What kind of motherboard, PC, or laptop are you using? You might need to install specific storage drivers or switch the drive to AHCI mode in the BIOS for it to recognize your partitions properly.
