  1. Reinstalling Windows 10, unable to find storage drives


    My computer (HP Envy h8-1534) has been frozen in the startup repair loop for some time. I finally was able to get a fresh copy of Windows 10 on a USB drive, and am able to enter the installation page for Windows 10, but during the Windows setup, when I try to select "Where do you want to install Windows?" I receive an error message, saying "We couldn't find any drives. To get a storage driver, click Load driver."



    Are there copies of the drivers for this device so that I can once again have access to these partitions? I know that they are there somewhere because when I browse for folder for the driver it recognizes ESD-USB (CReinstalling Windows 10, unable to find storage drives :) as well as the other drives (USB D-G:, and Boot (XReinstalling Windows 10, unable to find storage drives :).



    Thank you in advance for your help!

    :)

    How to remove a bad drive in Windows 10 storage spaces pool

    Could someone list the steps involved in replacing a bad drive from a Windows 10 storage spaces pool? I cannot find any info on the Microsoft support site that is specific to Windows 10. Also, could you list the steps to remove a 'good' drive and replace
    it with another drive if the process is different?
