No device drivers were found when installing Windows 11 from USB drive
The "No device drivers were found" error during a Windows 11 installation from a USB drive is a serious pain, and it can really mess things up. Basically, Windows can't see the storage drive (your USB or internal hard drive.) If the problem is with your main hard drive and you're trying to install Windows on top of the existing operating system, you risk wiping the existing data. Don't mess with this if you care about your important files! I've seen this happen before, and it's a nightmare. Trying to figure out why Windows isn't recognizing your drive is a huge time suck. You're likely restarting, checking ports, and downloading drivers. Each attempt is a chunk of time you could be using for something else. Especially if you're on a deadline!
In short, the "No device drivers were found" error during a Windows 11 install is a real roadblock that can cause a ton of trouble. You need to get this sorted out ASAP or your install is gonna be seriously delayed.
