Windows 10: Windows 11 Installation from USB results in "media driver your computer needs is missing" error

Hello, I am installing on a new build PC. I do not have access to a Windows PC. I downloaded the Windows 11 ISO x64 image from the Microsoft website. I used Etcher to burn this iso to a sandisk USB drive 32GB. Etcher gave me a warning that the ISO did not include any partition table. I decided to continue. It finished the task. I connected the USB to new PC and the BIOS recognized it as bootable media. I proceeded to reboot and this time launched the Windows installer.

Windows 11 installation issue Hello, I am running into a lot of issues trying to install from a bootable usb, regarding the error message where you need to install media drivers. I've had similar issues in the past and fixed them (related to the VMD drivers for 11th gen intel cards), but it's never been this impossible to solve.

Steps to reproduce

1. Boot bootable windows 11 installation process from the official bootable file found on microsofts website
   
2. Carry on with the installation process until you're faced with the error message "a media driver your computer needs is missing"
   

Now, from my previous experience installing windows, I've had to also install the intel Rapid Storage Technology drivers; and so

3. Attempt to re-install the proper VMD, and non-VMD drivers from https://www.intel.com/content/www/u...ptane-memory-10th-and-11th-gen-platforms.html

4. Launch the drivers, now I've tried all variations of the extracted drivers from intels website, still nothing works. I get the same errors

This has always worked in in the past, but I can not for the life of me figure out why I get this issue now

THis is what happens

• Error message repeats, and says that no missing drivers were found

Things I have already tried

• Put the driver files on the same usb as the bootable disk
  
• Attempted the same process both for intel's drivers on the 10-11th gen cards and the iRST drivers for 11th gen and up cards.
  
• Disable VMD functionality in bios, disabled secure boot vice-versa.

Thanks again for your help

It seems like a persistent issue. Have you tried using a different USB port for the installation? This might help resolve the driver recognition problem
