I am currently on a laptop running windows 11 and was looking to dual boot into arch preferably. However when I tried installing arch no recognised drives could be found.
I then found by searching that this was just to SATA. I had three options in my BIOS for it. Disabled, ACHI, and RAID.
The laptop was currently on RAID but if I changed the SATA to either disabled or ACHI windows either doesn’t have a boot option or blue screens when I try to.
I have system restore points on windows but I am confused from things online on what the best approach is. Do i set to disabled and fully reinstall windows / (can i use a restore point if i do?) or is there a way to allow windows to boot with SATA disabled.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks :)
