The hard drive has been taken out, so I cannot make a new one for my operating system.

When I ran "list disk", my computer only showed me USB as disk 0. Before that, I used "clean disk 0" without doing anything else. Now I can't use the Windows boot manager to go to 'new' or create a new disk using diskpart for Win11.
why were you trying to wipe the drive? Does the drive even show up in the BIOS? If it does, check if it's set to RAID. It probably isn't because that usually makes it disappear from the list. Windows can't create drives out of thin air, so maybe the drive is just physically broken or missing. What are your computer specs right now?
Everything you need to clean up your hard drive is just to wipe it. It won't actually erase everything like that. The data should still be there, even if you did a full disk delete or reset your computer after running the operation. If you do it right now, things might show up again as normal.
I keep trying to fix this by restarting things, but whenever I try to install the new operating system, the computer can't see my hard drive. When I run the DiskPart tool in Windows, it lists only one drive (USB) as disk 0 and ignores everything else like my main hard drive.
I need a USB stick with Windows Boot Manager to get into the BIOS. My laptop has an 8 gigabyte of RAM and a fast hard drive (NVMe). I'm not sure if it is set up for RAID yet. The Intel VMD controller is on, but now I turned that off. After disabling it, my drive appeared in the Windows menu while I was trying to install Windows.
