See Add device drivers to Windows during Windows Setup for more information. You can update the installation media to include a driver package that provides a driver for that disk. When running Windows setup on a system, if setup is unable to find the disk or partition you want to install Windows to, this may be because the installation media and Windows image is missing a driver for that disk. For more information, see Add and remove drivers to an offline Windows image. When possible, driver packages that contain boot-start drivers should be added to the image offline before the image is deployed to a system. If a boot-start driver for a device is not included in a driver package that is 'in-the-box' with Windows, a user can install an additional vendor-supplied driver package for the device. Most boot-start drivers are included in driver packages that are 'in-the-box' with Windows, and Windows automatically installs these boot-start drivers during first boot of the system.

A boot-start driver is a driver for a device that must be installed to start the Microsoft Windows operating system.
