Windows 10: Windows recovery won't recognize NVME disk; drivers in exe

I triple boot ubuntu, fedora and windows, but recently, I tried installing Gentoo. I acidentally ran mkdir over the boot folder and deleted the windows boot files since it was mounted. I tried running windows recovery via a ventoy drive with NVME driver from both dell and intel, but diskpart still couldn't recognize my internal drive, so it wasn't able to recognize my old windows 11 install.Specs:aaravy@btopOnTop ---------------- OS: Ubuntu Cinnamon 24.04.1 LTS x86_64 Host: Inspiron 14 5430 Kernel: 6.11.0-061100-generic Uptime: 13 hours, 48 mins Resolution: 2560x1600 DE: Cinnamon 6.0.4 CPU: 13

key board not recognized by recovery disk

No keyboards are not recognized by the windows 10 recovery disk. I have a Lenovo h415 desktop. When using the recovery CD, the mouse is recognized but the keyboard isn't. I have tried different keyboards in different usb slots and there is no ps2 port (as
some listings have suggested using). I even used a mini wireless keyboard with a track pad and the track pad works but the keyboard doesn't. The keyboard driver in windows is "pluralinput keyboard 0.8.6". Is there a way to add this driver to the recovery CD.

 

key board not recognized by recovery disk

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

As per the description, I understand that keyboard is not recognized.

I would like to know some information.

• 
  Keyboard is not recognized by recovery disk is it recognized normally?
  
• 
  Do you get any error message or error code?
  
• 
  What is the make and model of your computer?
  
• 
  Does it work in BIOS if it works in BIOS then might be the disk is Corrupt?
  

Try the steps.

Step 1:

Try disconnecting and reconnecting the keyboard and mouse.

Step 2: Change the priority in BIOS to CD/DVD. You will have to contact the manufacturer/OEM for assistance.

Disclaimer: Modifying BIOS/ complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings incorrectly can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting
from the configuring of BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Modifications of the settings are at your own risk.

Step 3: Once you are able to boot to the desktop, then change the keyboard layout and check.

Change your keyboard layout - Microsoft Support



Step 4:

I would also suggest you to install the motherboard/chipset drivers from the manufacturer’s website and check if that helps.



Hope this information helps. Please let us know if you need any other assistance with Windows in future. We will be happy to assist you.

 

Windows 7 Asus M2A-VM Raid Drivers

I understand what a .exe file does but it needs to load as a driver at the beginning of the windows installation. Windows needs the right driver so that raid 0 will work. I have a diploma in Computer Systems at a recognized college so I am not an idiot. I picked up my hardware manual and I am doing this right. I will describe my steps:

- 2 x HDD's plugged into slot 1 and 2 (color coded) and unplugged 500gig HDD (slot 3)
- enter BIOS, set SATA/RAID enabled
- save and exit BIOS
- restarts, ctrl-F to enter raid controller
- create raid array 0 by deleting logical drives and create a new array
- ctrl-F utility recognizes the raid 0 configuration
*** These steps above work wonderfully for windows XP and Vista raid 0. I had the right drivers, and it loaded just fine.
- Enter Windows RC 1 setup
- new custom install option
- no HDD's listed at all (because no drivers are loaded for RAID)
- "Load Driver" button - selected your 32-bit link .exe driver. "driver no found"
*** I confirmed in windows that the .exe is in the disk and I did a data check after burning it without a problem
*** The load driver button works wonderfully in XP and Vista for raid 0, that rules out everything but a faulty driver.

I was kind of disappointed that the .exe did not work. This isn't rocket science. I say it is the driver. Any assistance is appreciated!
