NEW BUILD - Windows 10 not detecting SSD "No device drivers were found"

[cheming]

Just got all my parts for my first build (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wF8mXH) but Windows 10 won't let me install the OS on my SSD.

I created a bootable USB with Media Creation Tool and initialized/formatted the SSD on a friend's computer. Windows & BIOS are able to detect the SSD, but when I select it on installation, it shows "No device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers."

So I downloaded my motherboard's drivers (https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/AB350M%20Pro4/index.asp#osW1064) and threw them on the same bootable USB, but still no luck.

Is that not how you install the drivers? If not, how do I do that? Are they even the right drivers? Do I need Windows 10 drivers on the bootable USB instead?

Any feedback would help! So frustrating knowing I'm so close to finishing my build.

Thanks

Normally Windows 10 doesn't need additional drivers to install. I have seen that warning refer to the actual USB you are using to install so maybe try another one?

I assume you don't have any additional USB devices attached to PC when installing, as that may cause this to happen.

if it a standard sata ssd make sure it on port 0/1 some of the higher sata ports are disabled if m2/or the other newer ssd type is on in the bios. in the bios if the ssd is standard ssd make sure sata ports not set to raid by achi. if there set to raid you need to follow the mb guild on building a raid set up. (made the raid drive with intel chipset then install the raid drivers for windows 10.

That did it! I tried a different USB, made it bootable and it worked. Thanks for your help!

What makes ye think it be the SATA or USB drivers?
I have the same problem when I attempt to install from USB.. When I use the DVD the issue does not occur. However, the load fails with checking for updates. There is NO LAN/WLAN activity.
I have an old Gateway with Marvel Yukon LAN. The system was just fine on the Spring Creators w10 update, but the Fall update fails.
Ok, load the marvel drivers to the USB and point to them when directed.. Bingo.. I again have a LAN..
Except the think is STILL missing media drivers.. for what? the intel chipset?

Now why must a reply be an answer??
