F6flpy-x64-Non-VMD.zip and F6flpy-x64-VMD.zip Removed

[PhilipYip]

There seems to have been an update to the Intel Rapid Storage Technology User Interface and Driver Downloads Page:

https://www.intel.co.uk/content/www/uk/en/download/19512/intel-rapid-storage-technology-driver-installation-software-with-intel-optane-memory-10th-and-11th-gen-platforms.html 

Now there is only the option to download the SetupRST.exe. Previously there was a F6flpy-x64-Non-VMD.zip and F6flpy-x64-VMD.zip. These are required to load the F6 drivers during the Windows Setup Screen and the zip format is particularly important when creating Windows Installation Media on another Operating System such as Ubuntu.

[Nerdtality]

I will be following up with Intel directly and with other social media news outlets about this to see what is going on, people are going to visit sketchy websites to download these drivers now, such a dis-service to your own community. RST should have never existed if you where not going to support it correctly. Especially since this technology is still being produced. The Linux community is going to loose their minds!

Those who Cant find VMD F6 driver

do i need to unzip?

[BrijeshLadani]

Yes unzip this and put unzipped directory inside the bootable usb or different usb

Then install the windows if error occurred for driver not found then go to browse button on that error screen then browse your usb and select "VMD" directory from unzip data

Bonjour, 

Par pitié aidez moi, ça fais 2 jours je cherche ce fichier et une fois que je l'ai enfin trouvé cela ne fonctionne pas. 

Mon SSD n'est toujours pas détecté par l'installation de Windows. 

Auriez vous une solution à me suggérer ? 

Cdrlmt ,

Pierre.

Bonjour ,

si quelqu'un peut m'aider

[SetUp]

Thanks A Lot! been battling with this for long , Across my experiences installing windows this surely gave me a headache, as i copied all the folders into the flash drive it automatically loads and boots with it without any error again, THANKS!!!!

[TwinHealer]

This was the ONLY Thing that worked for me!!!! Thank you @BrijeshLadani  for helping me to get a new ssd installed! I had completed the extractions but they weren't giving me the VMD F6 driver that I so desperately needed. Your tutorial and download link were the key to my success, so much so that I got an Intel account just to THANK YOU!!!!

The files are not responding on lenove core i3 systems. Still showing drive not found

[DrAmjad]

The same can be created using cmd or windows power shell. Its described in the README.txt topic 6.3

[sudo64]

Well i have finally found a driver that works, it might not work for all computers, but it worked for me, tell me if it works.

I'll also archive the driver in archive.org.

(You'll need 7zip to extract the driver.)

Hello @PhilipYip 

Reference Page

Or take last RST driver and with powershell extract it
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000094664/technologies/intel-rapid-storage-technology-intel-rst.html

Open the terminal in the directory with SetupRST.exe by right-clicking the directory and selecting Open in Terminal or Open PowerShell here. If the options for CMD or Powershell* are not enabled, find each one to proceed with step 2:
For Powershell:
Open a PowerShell* window as an administrator
Navigate to the location of SetupRST.exe file >PS c:\windows\system32> cd “c:\users\Intel\downloads\
For CMD:
Open a cmd window as an administrator.
Navigate to the location of SetupRST.exe file > c:\windows\system32> cd c:\users\Intel\downloads\
Enter the following command: ./SetupRST.exe -extractdrivers SetupRST_extracted.

But this shouldn't be a thing. 
On HP laptops with windows home. I am absolutely fricked without those drivers, no way to turn off vmd in the bios. no way. 
I've even had an HP representative tell me that i shouldn't need to disable vmd. 

All i can say is if you're buying a hp laptop and have to reload it. Good luck! I have even tried to load the drivers and sometimes they fail to load. 

So thanks INTEL.

Hello everyone and Intel Support Team,

I’m trying to install Windows 11 on my laptop, but the Windows installer does not see my internal SSD.

Laptop details:
• Model: HP Victus 15-fa0023
• CPU: Intel Core i5-12450H (Alder Lake)
• OS being installed: Windows 11 (USB installer)

• BIOS: no obvious “VMD” toggle is shown in BIOS menus, but storage behaves like it requires RST/VMD during installation (disk not visible without a driver)

Important note:
I created the Windows USB from Linux/macOS, so I cannot run SetupRST.exe or extract drivers using the EXE method. I need already extracted F6 drivers (raw driver files with .INF) that can be loaded directly during Windows setup.

Could you please help with:
The exact correct RST/VMD driver package/version for this platform (12th Gen Alder Lake mobile + HP Victus 15-fa0023).

A direct download link to the correct pre-extracted F6/VMD driver for Windows 11 x64.

Conseguiu resolver ? O meu é notebook da Samsung book x40 i5 10° geração NP550XCJ-XF1BR.

Alguém pode me ajudar ?
