No internal disk not found error after replacing mSata sdd
Hi, I have a dell xps 15 9530 model, the one with the smaller battery and hdd + ssd.
After replacing the 32GB mSata drive to a 500GB samsung Evo 860, I get the error No internal disk found, with no further loading or boot options. I would like to use both disks without the intel rapid storage feature.
Please assist

Update:
Changed the bios settings to ATA.
Now I got the option to Reset the machine which seem to work.
What setting should I use for 2 disk configuration, so I would be able to install windows on the ssd and use the hdd for storage only? Should it be ATA or AHCI?

AHCI if you're reinstalling.
RAID will also work, if you want to leave it in that mode.

Thanks for the quick response!
The only way I could get it to reset everything was using ATA... Will I be able to change it to AHCI later? Or would it require another reset?
(by reset I mean fully resetting the machine to the manufacturer defaults)
