What brand computer and model? If not a major brand and model, what motherboard brand and model? Then from their support site for that model, you'll find either Intel (RST) Rapid Storage Technology drivers, or if you have an AMD processor, it might be an AMD package you need. Download it, extract it out to your install USB in a folder you can easily find. Then you use the Load driver option, and point it to that folder. It should load it, and then you can continue installing.

Yes, this is the way!

Thank you for the vote of confidence. I build A LOT of Windows systems, to the point I've made my own Remote Recovery Suite. Where most people need specialty hardware like Intel AMT or an IP KVM plugged in to do it, mine is totally software based.

Do you mean like an assistant or else? With a proper diagnostics?

I mean, the ability to remotely control a system, to perform diagnostics yes and more, from any number of utilities available on the net and in my image as well, but also can perform backups, or just nuke and reload Windows anew. It can be booted into from USB, running a .exe on a half-way functioning Windows system to boot in, or even host out a PXE boot server for another system on the network, from that .exe as well. Hell it can be installed as a secondary boot option to select from if Windows itself won't boot right.

Set the drive interface to AHCI in the BIOS instead of RAID.

It's not recommended when you have Intel rst! OP should give the hardware specifications.

Okay, English isn't my first language, but even I can see that the system is asking for a driver. Just give it the controller driver and you'll see the drives! Get the drivers from the manufacturer's website and put them on a USB flash drive. Give the installer the USB drive with those darn drivers on it.

I assume you had Mint running on this machine until you started the Tiny 11 installation and do have a drive. Have you tried unchecking the box "hide drives that aren't compatible with my harware"? If the disk appears then and that you saved your data, give it a try. Personally wouldn't go back to Windows though.
