| Re: [PLUG] Dual booting Linux and Windows |
David et al, I downloaded Ubuntu 20.04 beta, and it has the same problem. In the BIOS, HDD1 is identified as INTEL SDD... SATA mode is RST with Optane Going to the security tab, it displays: HDD1: NVMe SSD doesn't support HDD I do not see any place that allows me to change the Intel RST setting. Regards, Eric Eric, I have one other suggestion for you, which may or may not apply to your particular hardware. I have seen similar behavior to what you are describing in Dell systems that shipped with a single drive and a default configuration for Intel Rapid Storage Technology (RST). Specifically, the machines shipped with a single drive and Intel RST set to a RAID configuration. This caused Ubuntu 18.04 to not recognize the NVMe drive. I had to change the Intel RST setting to either AHCI or disabled. I forget which and don't have access to one of those machines right now to check. Anyway, if your laptop has Intel RST and either an M.2 or NVMe drive it's worth checking those settings. Also, one other caveat, I was not trying to dual-boot. I was formatting the drive and installing Linux as the sole OS. So I don't know what switching those settings might do to an existing Windows installation. -Dave Collins ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ On Monday, April 6, 2020 3:00 PM, <plug-request@lists.phillylinux.org> wrote: > Date: Mon, 6 Apr 2020 12:54:18 -0400 > From: "Eric H.

I may try starting the install of Ubuntu 20.04 beta, just to see if it recognizes the drive.

I have encountered that before, though I have not stayed current enough to hazard a guess as to what is not compatible. Try an Arch ISO with a new kernel and see whether that recognizes the drive. > > Regards > – Bhaskar > > On Mon, Apr 6, 2020 at 11:43 AM Eric H.

Since you turned off the secure boot items I can't see why you wouldn't be able to read and write to that disk. Also, Rich M. did a presso on this awhile back and if I recall correctly, a trusted UEFI file would need to have a key. You might want to enable secure boot again so you can turn that off (then turn off the secure boot again). > > ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ > Keith C.

Don’t usually use Acer, but the Acer Aspire 5 came top rated for use with Linux. It also came with a 1TB SSD which makes it nice for dual boot, however I am having difficulty doing that. The existing OS is Windows 10 Pro. > > I modified the BIOS to boot the thumb drive with Ubuntu Linux 18.04 LTS, and disabled secure boot. However running the Ubuntu install does not seem to see the hard drive and wants to install to the thumb drive, which it cannot since it is too small. Under the security tab there are other secure boot settings, but can only be accessed if secure boot is enabled.
