Diskpart Removed Main Drive Can't Create a New Drive to Install OS

[fck0910]

When I typed 'list disk' the only thing that shows up on the command prompt is my USB as disk 0.

before this i typed in 'clean disk 0' without adding any other commands. Now I can't use the windows boot manager to go to 'new' or create a new disk using diskpart for win11.

all clean should do is wipe the drive, it doesn't delete it as such. it should still exist if you do a list disk

have you restarted PC since doing operation? It might make it reappear again.

i've restarted it many times and when I tried to install the OS I couldn't find the drive to put it onto. And when I went to diskpart command it only showed my USB drive as disk 0 and nothing else.

what was reason you were wiping drive?

Does the drive show in the bios? if it does, check if its set to RAID - it shouldn't be but might explain why its not showing

windows can't make drives disappear, so it could be the drive is the problem.

what are specs of pc?

I can't get into the UEFI BIOS without the usb with the window boot manager. It's a laptop with a 256gb NVME drive, 8gigs of memory. Idk if it runs in raid. the intel VMD controller is enabled.


Minu update; i disabled the VMD controller and the drive popped up on the windows manager, currently installing windows.
