I'm using a SK Hynix 256GB M.2 SSD via PCIe to M.2 adapter. i recently fell victim to the windows update that seems to corrupt SSDs. i temporarily installed linux, as my install medium was having problems.

The Problem.
When attempting to reinstall windows 11, im brought to a page asking for drivers to make hardware accessible. I've tried multiple 'solutions', such as using Rufus, Ventoy, dd, and the Windows Media Creator, to no effect. I've tried installing the VROC drivers available on the 5820 driver page, tried installing the drivers from Intel's website directly, i even tried to use Windows 10, 8, and 7 drivers, and nothing worked. After every attempt, i either got "Error Installing Drivers" or something along the lines of "a media driver for your computer is missing". 

Is there a solution to this? Is it possible to pre-install windows from a different system, and then transfer the SSD back to my system?

(for context, i have an Intel Xeon W-2235, Radeon RX6800 XT, and 32 GB RAM.)
