Debian installer doesn't detect hard drives
by sevensixtwo from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5AKYV)
I bought a new Asus Windows 10 laptop with two hard drives on it. I used the windows disk tool to delete the whole volume that Windows is not on. The result is that all of the space on that drive was unallocated. (On a second attempt, I reformatted that drive and shrunk it so that only the NTFS data remained and the rest was unallocated, but that also didn't work.) I turned off fast startup in Windows power settings. I turned off Fast Boot and Secure boot in the Asus BIOS. I DLed Debian ISO and used Rufus to put it on my USB stick. The USB is booting in UEFI mode. When I boot from the stick, I use the graphical installer. When it eventually asks me where I want to install linux, it only gives me the option to install it on my 32Gb USB stick. I cannot get it to detect either of the two hard drives in the machine. How do I get it to do that?
