Clean-installing Windows 11 on GX703HS, installer cannot detect the drive - solved
Hello! I want to do a clean install of Windows 11 on my Asus ROG Zephyrus G17 (GX703HS) but when I boot the Windows installer from an USB, it doesn't detect the SSD (Samsung MZVL22T0HBLB). The drive is detected by UEFI and I can boot to Windows that are installed on it. I am only not able to do a clean install.
Tutorials I found online suggest disabling CSM so that the drive would appear. My laptop does not seem to have that option in it's UEFI. Has anyone had a similar experience?
Some additional details: both the SSD and my USB drive are using GPT, I have disabled the secure boot option in UEFI, I'm running the latest available UEFI version.
I hope someone has had a similar experience with their laptop so they can point me to the right direction.Last edited by Vorta; 01-14-2022 at 08:58 PM.

Im thinking the usb flash drive is missing a necessary driver. There is a similar issue on HP devices with 11th gen processors maybe not same as yours?https://www.tenforums.com/installati...stall-w10.html*
Scroll down to the hp link in the above thread.*Last edited by Jimbo93; 01-14-2022 at 08:47 PM.

The solution was to have the IRST driver on the installation drive so I can load it during installation. I have only tried using the Samsung driver for the SSD before, it didn't occur to me that I actually needed an Intel driver.
Thank you! I hope this thread will help other people in the future too!
