3rd-party drivers for storage controllers (RST, NVMe) may be required for both boot.wim & install.wim.
boot.wim allows Windows Setup to find a drive to format/install to, and install.wim for the actual Windows you're running. Both WIM files share the same set of default drivers. If you have to add a missing driver to install.wim, then boot.wim needs it too.
Hi,
I did this but still setup cant find my drive. If i select the drivers manually, which i put into both .wim files, during setup it does find my harddrive. It almost looks like it doesnt load the drivers automaticly.
Does your PC have an Intel RST or VMD controller? Sometimes the Windows version of the same driver "outranks" the DISM-added driver and picks the wrong version to load. And you don't see the drive until you load the other driver again.
You can try making a new folder "\$WinPEDriver$" on the ISO media. Copy your extracted driver files here.
Thanks for your reply. I found this solution ineed, did this and then my drive is finally found, it's vmd cause that's the driver that i'm using.
Is it possible that i send you my autounattended file? The thing i'm messing with is that my harddisk is not automaticly being partitoned/formatted but instead my usb stickMy usb stick is found as drive 0 and the hd as 1, so i changed the <diskid> to 1 but no luck there.
Questions on the autounattended file are more appropriate on this thread (same people, different topic):
