Bazzite installer not showing all internal drive
Hello ,
I am trying to install bazzite on my laptop. I disabled my secure boot and fast boot in my bios. I disabled windows hibernate and fast startup and on my Bios and windows I can see my drives being detected. But when I try to install bazzite, my nvme drives are not detected but by hdd is detected. Any idea how to fix this ?

My friend had this exact problem the other day and fixed it by enabling AHCI in BIOS (just disabling secure boot was not enough)
Well I tried this and my windows wont boot up now.
Its set to optane with raid
changed to AHCI and windows was BSOD due to boot drive not found
the issue is that linux does not have the raid driver for the raid you have set up so you need to either undo the raid (reinstall windows without it) or hope you can install bazzite on a new disk (all the times i have dealt with this the machine has only had 1 disk when set into iRST or some other raid solution instead of AHCI, so i cant speak on how it behaves in multi disk setups)
I spent some more time researching on this and came across this thread https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-installation-on-computers-with-intel-r-rst-enabled/15347 . I am not sure if my other disks will get affected if I change the mode from rst intel to AHCI .
@HikariKnight did you experience data loss by chance when you changed to mode. I want to know other folks experience before I take a dive

Ubuntu installation on computers with Intel(R) RST enabled
Overview Intel Rapid Storage Technology (RST) is a solution built into a range of Intel chipsets. On platforms that have RST support built and enabled in the computer’s BIOS, it allows users to group and manage multiple hard disks as single volumes. This functionality is known as the Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID). In some usage ...
changing mode itself just prevents any system installed in RST mode from booting
if you modify the partitions on the disks that are formatted with RST then there will be data loss (as you are effectively destroying the raid)
in all my cases running into this, the disk was going to be wiped anyway
but just changing the option from RST to AHCI and not touching the disks will not cause data loss
it will just prevent the OS that was installed in RST/AHCI mode from booting when the other mode is used
Yeah just be careful with Windows software RAID if you're going to use it, it's... rough
if you want raid on linux btrfs raid support is actually rock solid
i would double check the btrfs raid5 and 6, iirc it was not reliable, raid 1 does work well though as it is way less complicated
if you just want to combine disks together, creating an LVM is also an option
yeah maybe im misinformed I'm not entirely sure. Best to look it up
i prefer using mdadm and then formatting that, much easier and well documented, does the same thing in the end
yeah true
Thanks for all the information, will try to reinstall it in the weekend
