grudgingly, i need to ask for linux help.

i received an Acer Aspire 3 A314 with an AMD CPU and it boots fine to Windows 10 S. i've disabled secure boot and can boot to the Kubuntu live drive i made for installation, however when in there it shows the main drive, an NVMe drive, as being 0 bytes in size. looking at it with the partition manager reveals it has no properties. all of the entries are blanked out. when i try and install, it fails. can't write. any help? :boost_ok:

@PsyChuan @PsyChuan Just a quick google suggests that those devices default to using RST for the SATA mode, which still isn't super supported under Linux. If you can change it to AHCI then the OS should be able to read/write to it properly.

The option should be on the main screen of the BIOS, but you might need to tap Ctrl+S to see it
