Installing windows 10 on T5600
Im kinda stumped on how to get my pc to detect my drives when installing windows. It boots to my usb 2 with windows 10 installed but it is not detecting any of the drives I have. I'm pretty sure there is some driver i need to install but not sure exactly where or what to get. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

F6 REQUIRED
>Unless you use the F6 mass storage drivers
windows 7 8 10 wont see any drives.

I guess I should add that I do not have a PERC H310 adapter for these drives they are connected directly into the sata ports.

All drivers are in a cab file.

You should extract the contents of the cab file onto your USB installer using 7zip.
https://www.7-zip.org/download.html
The section under storage has the F6 drivers for intel, PERC, etc.
Point to that on your flash drive when it cant see drives.
You say load drivers then point to the extracted drivers.
Once installed move the cab file to My documents folder on the target windows machine.
Then install 7zip on that machine
Then right click the cab file in my documents and with 7zip say Extract here
You can then resolve any yellow ! in device manager OFFLINE by telling windows to UPDATE my drivers from my pc not the internet.

I have tried for a couple days now to find the right driver with no success. The only controller I have is a lsi ibm 9212-4i4e. Would this work? and if so where are the drivers for windows 10?
