Intel Rapid Storage Technology (IRST) is a suite of technologies that helps to improve the performance and reliability of storage devices. It can be used to create RAID arrays, optimize performance, and protect data.

If you are using IRST on the computer that you are trying to install Windows on, then you will need to make sure that the IRST drivers are installed on the installation media. You can download the IRST drivers from the Intel website.

To install the IRST drivers on the installation media, follow these steps:

1. Download the IRST drivers from the Intel website.
2. Extract the driver files to a folder.
3. Copy the driver files to the USB drive that contains the Windows installation media.
4. Boot the computer from the USB drive.
5. When you reach the "Install Now" screen, press Shift+F10 to open a command prompt.
6. In the command prompt, type the following command:
7. dism /add-driver /driver:<path to driver files> /recurse
8. Replace <path to driver files> with the path to the folder that contains the IRST driver files.

Press Enter.

The IRST drivers will be installed on the installation media. You can now continue with the Windows installation process.

If you are still having trouble detecting the hard drive, you can try disabling IRST in the BIOS/UEFI settings. To do this, follow these steps:

Boot the computer into the BIOS/UEFI settings.

Find the setting for IRST and disable it.

Save the changes and exit the BIOS/UEFI settings.
