If you prefer not to deal with drivers, some HP BIOS versions allow you to disable VMD, though this is not recommended for performance reasons. Shut down the laptop. Power it on and immediately tap the F10 key to enter BIOS. Go to the Configuration or Advanced tab. Look for VMD Setup Menu or Intel VMD Technology. Change it to Disabled.
Save and exit (F10). Your drive will now appear without needing the extra driver, but you may lose some power management benefits. F6flpy-x64 -intel-R- Vmd-.zip Hp
