You need to find appropriate storage driver that you then load during install (extracted in *.inf format not *.exe)
Possible alternative is to disable some proprietary storage related feature in BIOS / UEFI so that you would use standard drivers that are included in install. UEFI update might help as well. Usually there is a guide for all this.
