[EN] No hard drive found on IdeaPad S340

(1/3) > >>

bad_aptitude:
The live iso boots but gparted does not see the laptop's hard drive.


In the bios the SSD drive is described as "INTEL SSDPEKN512G8L"
The bios is CUNCN16W(V1.05)


One bios option is the Controller Mode. It is currently set at "RST" with the option of "AHCI". I haven't tried the AHCI mode because the bios warns changing the controller mode will wipe the drive.


Is there a solution which doesn't require switching to AHCI mode?
Thanks for your ongoing support.

It only works with AHCI!

I have never heard of this -- I think it is bogus.  The interface mode (AHCI) does not act upon the hdd -- it only allows sending and reading the data.

towo:
No, it could be, that the drive will be wiped.
RST is the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology which is a kind of Raid.

Aha -- well, thank you towo!  Today, I learned something.   :)
