P1403CVA IRST driver not Found!

[ozdersin]

I recently bough a P1403CVA came with no OS installed.  During the boot it cannot find disks  as expected 
but V19.1.0.1001 IRST driver is not supported with this intel version in P1403CVA , as asus support team and your webpage says V20 is required to run. 

Also BIOS is locked so no way to change VDM settings and disable secure boot option to install a different OS other.

But you web page only has v19. V20 is only built in .exe format which is meaningless  how can I run exe without system files on a pc that has no OS !.

So basically it is locked ! I have brand new laptop which cannot RUN at all. 

Model: Asus ExpertBook P1 (P1403) P1403CVA-I58512G0D
available driver in your webpage !

Hi

Because you are able to post, maybe ...

I had a similar problem and found that DEBIAN 13 would just install. while W11 flat out refused.

So I knew that the storage was installed correctly, and I rebooted into BIOS and did a lengthy CLOUD recovery.

From there I was able to work.

Hi

Well the Intel version download failed, the Microsoft store version Installed.

Switching back to Linux Mint, I found, downloaded and looked inside VMD_CC_Intel_Z_V20.0.0.1038_39407.exe

So what / which OS are you trying to install?

AND some/many Linux Distro's install with Secure Boot enabled.

Using Rufus Tool to Create a Bypass Installer USB

• Rufus can create a Windows 11 USB installer with built-in bypasses for TPM, Secure Boot, RAM, and CPU requirements.

• During creation, options allow disabling online Microsoft account setup and other telemetry features.

• This method creates a bootable installer that ignores many system hardware checks automatically.

Actually basically trying to install W11 on a brand new laptop with no OS installed ( that' P1403CVA asus) . As far as Asus support told v20 IRST is needed hence when v19 install disks are not being visible and gives driver error.. 
But there's no v20 IRST available in asus website . it is only available as exe without inf files. so does not make any sence.. 
Because of that I try to install some linux distrbution openSuse & ubuntu just to boot and format disk . though that it may help to skip IRST issues but then secure boot becomes an issue. no way to by pass in bios. 

Also VDM features are locked in BIOS as well. 

So laptop cannot see any disk during installation at all..
