I have a fascinating issue. I assembled this computer with two SSDs and a traditional hard drive. I wanted to check if any valuable data was stored on them since I had used them before. I installed a Hiren boot CD and everything showed up without anything unusual. After formatting (even cleaning the drives with DiskPart), when I tried to create a Windows 11 installation USB, the setup wizard didn’t recognize any of the drives. I also attempted to update the BIOS because it was four years outdated, but it didn’t work. I’m unsure what caused this problem, as the drives appear in the BIOS settings too. Help me figure it out.

You've encountered a problem with certain notebooks at work. It may be necessary to also download the chipset drivers for your board onto the USB drive and then install them during the selection process for your drive.
