Install Driver to show hardware

I've built a PC and tried installing Windows 11 on it by creating a bootable USB drive with the Microsoft Media Creation Tool. My PC booted up but is showing a screen that says "Install Driver to show hardware". I've downloaded all the drivers listed from the Asus support page for the corresponding motherboard model (Asus Prime B450M-A II), unzipped them and moved them to the USB, but I still get the same screen and selecting the folder with the drivers or any of the sub-folders gives me an error that says "Error: No drivers were found".

    Hi Elina,

    I'm Sumit, here to answer your query at the Microsoft Community.

    Apologies for any inconvenience you are experiencing. We are happy to help you.

    If the drivers have not worked, we can try disabling VMD in BIOS. It shows up the drives.

    Shut down your PC completely.

    Power it on and immediately start pressing the Del or F2 key repeatedly as the PC starts up.

    Continue pressing the key until the BIOS/UEFI menu appears.

    Look for Storage options and toggle the VMD option.

    Hope that helps, and rely on us for any further inquiries. All the best.

    Hello Sumit,

    Thank you for your reply.

    I can't seem to find the option to toggle VMD in BIOS. There isn't an option section for Storage either.

    I'm currently on BIOS version 4621 x64.

    Thanks, Elina. Is the BIOS fully updated?

    Could you try steps here:

    Hello Sumit,

    My BIOS is fully updated.

    My SSD is recognized in BIOS, but I'm still getting the same screen when booting up the USB drive.

    Is it an Intel or AMD Machine?
