Ask Ubuntu Asked by Dopey NULL on January 3, 2022
I bought a new laptop that comes with Windows 10.
When I get to Installation Type it gives me this:
fdisk
only sees my USB drive.
Windows disk management looks like this:
I have successfully installed Ubuntu on 3 other machines using this boot drive before.
I noticed it doesn’t let me choose Install alongside Windows. Not sure if it’s supposed to be after Installation Type.
Gparted looks like this:
Your BIOS is set to RAID for the disk subsystem, and the Ubuntu installer doesn't know what to do with that. You need to change it to AHCI. Here are two ways to do it. Windows will not need to be reinstalled if you follow one of these methods.
Some folks have found the 2nd choice that I provide easier to do...
You've got a single SSD set up in RAID mode, and the Ubuntu installer won't recognize your SSD until you switch your disk setting in the BIOS from RAID to AHCI.
Making that switch comes with some problems though, as Windows will no longer boot.
You don't need to reinstall Windows...
Below, you'll find two different ways to solve this problem. Some users found Choice #2 to be easier.
#Make sure to have a backup of your important Windows files!
Choice #1: Looking at this article https://samnicholls.net/2016/01/14/how-to-switch-sata-raid-to-ahci-windows-10-xps-13/ will show you how to make the change without having to reinstall Windows.
Device Manager
Storage Controllers
and identify the Intel SATA RAID Controller
Show compatible hardware
Microsoft
as manufacturerMicrosoft Storage Spaces Controller
as model #Windows cannot confirm that this driver is compatible
Now you should be able to install Ubuntu in a dual-boot configuration.
Choice #2: See http://triplescomputers.com/blog/uncategorized/solution-switch-windows-10-from-raidide-to-ahci-operation/
Command Prompt (Admin)
.Command Prompt
listed, it’s because you have already been updated to a later version of Windows. If so, use this method instead to get to the Command Prompt:
- Click the Start Button and type cmd
- Right-click the result and select Run as administrator
bcdedit /set {current} safeboot minimal
- If this command does not work for you, try bcdedit /set safeboot minimal
Command Prompt (Admin)
bcdedit /deletevalue {current} safeboot
- If you had to try the alternate command above, you will likely need to do so here also: bcdedit /deletevalue safeboot
