Use a Windows machine to download and extract this IRST driver on a USB drive, then select load driver at the step of selecting where to install Windows. Browse to the USB containing IRST and install the driver. Your boot drive should become visible.
Otherwise, you can disable RAID in SATA/NVMe Operation setting.

Use the link here to download the newest driver.
Note: you must extract the file, not just put the download on the flash drive.

I have the same issue. I have a brand new Precision 7680. I want to reinstall the system and mounted win11 on a bootable USB drive. In the installation process, win11 does not see the SSD drive - i'm stuck.
Disabling RAID in SATA/NVMe Operation setting, in the BIOS, does not change a thing.
I tried downloading IRST drivers to load the driver in win11 installation process, but IRST drivers are *.exe files. They cannot be "unzipped" as stated above. Thus, as *.exe files, they are not visible and cannot be executed from win11 install.
Anyone ?

Use the compatibility check (enter your service tag) to locate the correct driver.

When you download this IRST driver to your computer, double click to run and it will offer two options: Install and Extract, select Extract then pointing to a USB drive that you intend to use to load driver during installation.

@Chino de Oro This is not the case. Double clicking causes it to attempt to install. There is no zip version of these files; they're exe.. useless on a linux system.
