Problems with creating a partition from a fully formatted drive

Hi, I was trying to create a partition after full formatting my drive using Diskpart (clean all). Suddenly, the laptop shut down and I have to use CMD in my bootable Windows 11 Setup. I tried using Diskpart again but now I don't see my drive because it's unallocated. The Windows Setup didn't show up the unallocated drive either (maybe because I full formatted the drive). I need to create a new partition myself to install Windows, but no method worked.

What should I do to create a partition within a full formatted drive?

Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

If you have a modern Intel processor on your PC, you need to go to the support page for your PC on the manufacturers website.

From the chipset section, download the installer for the Intel RST drivers.

Extract out the drivers from that installer and put them into a new folder on your USB.

When you reach the part of the installation where you cannot see the drive, click 'Load Driver, then select one of those Intel RST drivers.
