i’m trying to set up debian 12 on a laptop [ dell latitude 7400 ]. pendrive ready but.. the installer detects only pendrive and no NVMe that holds Windows 11. why?
it turns out bios had Raid mode configured for the intel storage controller – as described here.
how to reconfigure it without ruining ability to boot into windows? based on this:
- boot windows, run cmd as admin
- run bcdedit /set {current} safeboot minimal
- reboot to bios
- change storage mode from raid to ahci
- let windows boot in a safe mode [ default ]
- run cmd as admin
- there run bcdedit /deletevalue
now debian installer properly detects nvme as an available storage
