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. fjd -- Felmon Davis Verbum sat sapienti.

top-posting - sorry but quick: just by fortune found the solution an hour after posting! <https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2429951&p=13900969#post13900969> you boot into BIOS, no AHCI, but then you hit "Control S" and it magically appears! reboot, and there's the SSD! I sat on this for hours. wrong search string. fjd On Fri, 20 Nov 2020, Felmon Davis wrote: > greets! > > been looking around for a solution without avail.
