Hello all, quick question.

Im trying to install windows on an old desktop I have, it's a Dell optiplex, I've disabled IRST but the drive is not registering in the setup screen.

if anyone knows a driver, I'd appreciate it. If not I'll have to install lubunutu

can't install drivers without an operating system. if you can't install windows with the install tool, something else is amiss.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Yeah it's SATA, just came in the mail today so it's never been used.

Did you get into the BIOS as @chen57 asked? In some cases a SATA port can be disabled in BIOS (though I know this only from Desktop).

No, when I boot the system it alerts me that no drive has been found.

would legacy option roms being enabled be an issue? Secure boot is disabled.

this is why I was thinking maybe it needs a driver due to it being a Dell optiplex coming with a hard drive there would normally be no need to install a ssd driver

Hmm, so I just did that, tried some other things in here and nothing seems to work. The computer sees my windows installer but nothing else

Yeah I just did that... Maybe the computer is a dud? It's been sitting around for awhile so maybe there's some electrical issue at work?
