The worst that could happen is I need a fresh install and that's not a problem to me at all. I am not sure what the implications or impacts would be of changing that mode.Īlthough as long as it won't completely break the system beyond repair I don't mind trying. I'm not at all familiar with this or the other mode motioned (I'm a software developer I don't know jack about this though). I'm not sure why it's in raid mode but I do see that it is. Several others have mentioned I should switch my bios storage settings out of raid mode and then I'd be fine. I've been reading more about this and it seems clear that I'm not up to speed on how this system hardware if configured. ) but I'm sure I can find the new location. The link on the video description to Intel's site is a 404 (. I've done this about a billion times but I've never had a machine where I need a storage driver, which is why I'm stuck. My real goal is to reach the drive selection screen in setup, delete every partition listed there, and then when only "unallocated space" remains, I would click Next and let setup create all the necessary partitions automatically. I assume I just need to put that driver on my USB stick so I can browse to select it during this part of setup.

I'm about 99.9999% sure I'm just missing the driver I need, presumably the Intel RST driver).

I can boot up my Latitude 5520 from this USB key and begin Windows setup and choose custom.īut then on the screen "where do you want to install Windows", no hard drives are listed. I do not want to use Dell system image recovery or anything like that, my strong preference is to install directly from the Microsoft Windows 10 media as created from /software-download/windows10). The reason isn't really important, but my goal is to perform a fresh & clean Windows 10 installation using a USB drive (I already used Microsoft's media-creation-tool to prepare my USB drive). Hi there, I have a problem that's probably super easy to solve I just need some direction.
