purchased a new box: Dell x7-11700 32GB GeForce RTX 3060 8GB 500G SSD 1T Spinning Rust

just downloaded openSUSE-Tumbleweed-DVD-x86_64-Snapshot20211110-Media.iso

shrank windows install using windows tools left free 370GB on SSD and 750GB on Rust

booted usb stick with the iso above dd'd

ran thru setup and software selection and began install, but was never offered any partitioning, wtf ???

should I revert and install Leap 15.3, then change to Tw?

and after changing to legacy boot mode, even clonezilla does not see the SSD.

Perhaps RAID vs. AHCI mode?

tks, I am able to change the SATA mode from RAID On to AHCI and will but need to backup the the windoz install first and will use their software. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode What sort of day was it?

for my box, needed in windows to issue: bcdedit /set safeboot minimal reboot into bios and change raid to ahci reboot into windows and issue: bcdedit /deletevalue safeboot and was successful ran clonezilla to backup runable windows reinstalled Tumbleweed to SSD success tks for the excellent help. fwiw: I did see the earlier report re nvme ssd's but failed to connect. old(er) age creeping up. :) -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode What sort of day was it?
