Aspire-715-51G-SSD not getting detected when trying to do Windows 11 clean installation.

Rajvardhan

I have Aspire-715-51G, My system crashed after a official Windows Update, every time I turned on my laptop, it went into BitLocker. So I booted into ubuntu with a flash usb
then backed up my data, later I formatted the entire ssd, removing everything and installed Ubuntu. I have my full storage shown in Ubuntu.
When installing windows 11 again, it's not detecting my SSD, and I downloaded the IRST Driver from support page by entering the Serial Key
I extracted the zip and copied into my flash, when I "load driver" went into the folder where the extracted drivers were there It's not showing up, more specifically it's showing "Error scanning drivers"
I am not able to install Windows 11
I have a official download of windows 11 flashed with rufus
Help Me……..

Hi Rajvardhan,

After clicking the "Load Drivers" option, expand the folder containing the IRST driver, then expand the F6 folder, expand the VMD folder, and select the "f6vmdflpy.x64" folder.

If that doesn't work, enter the UEFI settings and see if you can set the SATA mode to "AHCI" instead of RAID.
