live-boot doesn't detect internal SSD
greets!
been looking around for a solution without avail. Acer Swift 3
SF313-52.
tried X-buntu, MX-Linux and another distro. gparted, fdisk and their
partition managers only show the usb so no install is possible.
-------
the BIOS and controls in Windows 10 are pretty stripped down.
I tried to make progress by turning off secure boot but all that id
was to grey out the switches in BIOS which allow UEFI to select
partitions and drives.
in Windows Fast-Boot is off, Norton disabled, Windows Defender
toothless.
the Swift 3 has TPM; I cleared that, also tried disabling it.
there is talk of getting AHCI to run but playing with BCEDIT to
disable SAFEBOOT doesn't generate an option in the BIOS to use AHCI.
I would rather not go the route of wiping the SSD and installing
stuff. I am willing to allow Windows to be the boot-loader, I just
want the freedom to install other systems side-by-side.
welcome advice.
