Installing drivers on an installation medium

Im trying to install some HP drivers to my USB stick which has Esxi on it. Im trying to run Esxi on a HP Proliant DL360 G5 from an USB but the server wont see my HDD that I put in. Someone told me to install these HP drivers to help the server and OS to see the HDD. But I do not know how to this, i've looked around but it hasn't helped me much, can anyone help?

Welcome to the Community,

Someone told me to install these HP drivers ...

Which drivers are you talking about, and which ESXi version/build do you have installed?

What kind of disks do you use? Are these managed by the RAID controller (e.g. a P400)? If so, did you setup the RAID set, and configure logical volumes?

The problem is I have nothing installed, im trying to instal ESXI on my blade server but the server wont see the hard drives I put in. And someone else told me I had to install the HP drivers so the server would see the hard drives.
ESXi version is 6.5 btw, I dont think it has any RAID settings atm
