Ive been trying to dualboot eos on my asus windows laptop.
Its been a struggle and i after going through most of the troubleshooting steps ive run into a wall. Right now i have an empty unallocated Partition of 50gb. My safe boot and fast boot are all off, the drive is not bitlocker encrypted and my bios has been set to ahci. All those steps brought me abit further but now my Drive gets recognized as a 0b. It gets seen by lsblk -f and lsblk -l correctly but the installer cant seem to see it.

let`s hope the smart community can help more than me at the telegram chat…
the interesting part on the boot journal:

Check the settings in the bios and make sure SATA is set to AHCI not RAID or if it has Intel RST that it is turned off and set to AHCI. You could also try using the following kernel parameters. Not sure if you are using grub or systemd-boot. The kernel parameters are added differently on each.
Ive checked the bios and it is set to AHCI. Ive also tried both those booting parameters sadly. Thank you very much for the reply would you have any other ideas?
no i changed it, before when it wasnt on AHCI the installer would say there is no available partition to install too. Then after the change he does find a partition though the entire drive appears as 0b and cant be read properly.
It’s probably related to how the fake raid is setup on the this drive why it doesn’t see it. Are you able to see it with gparted booted on the live ISO. If you have the latest ISO it will have KDE partition manager. You can install gparted and launch it and see what it shows.
i dont think so its super tight since its a zenbook duo. Im really devastated i cant get it to work i have been at it for 2 nights now : (
Thank you for the help, i was really excited for linux but i guess it might not be possible to get away from windows
