I am confused about why ASUS is using a RAID controller setting in the BIOS for my laptop... I thought RAID was used with multiple drives to build in redundancy and recover-ability. But my laptop only has 2 drives, an SSD drive and a 7200RPM disk drive.
This is the first time you mention that you have two drives. Depending on how they are configured (and yes, IRST supports such combination to present one logical disk) it may not be possible to switch from IRST to AHCI at all without reinstalling Windows or at least disabling RAID. The less information you give the less accurate answers you should expect. ...
Forgive me if I am asking too many dumb questions,
Well, it is OK to ask dumb question but so far there is simply not enough information to answer them. Start with switching mode in BIOS, booting Linux and telling us "fdisk -l" output as well as "lspci -nnv" one. You can switch back and continue to use Windows for the time being. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
