Alienware 17 r5 Linux installation workaround
Hello fellow community,
After reading about RAID0 and Linux, i'm pretty clear that, right now it is not possible to have linux detect and mount this laptop's main disk NVME in RAID 0 mode. Also, it's been explained in forums that in order to have the aforementioned disk recognized in linux, a change in Bios must be done (RAID ---> AHCI). Well i got to tell that in a unforgivable mistake i set a password for admin in Bios and it is not working or i just forgot it or mistyped it, this is because i have an spanish wireless keyboard and i hould have used the laptop's keyboard. Anyway, i can't make changes in Bios for the moment, so the only disk that is recognized after booting to usb live linux distros is just de secondary disk (SSD). Here it goes my question hopefully expecting your best advice:
Could i install Linux in secondary drive (SSD) even with RAID 0 mode in BIOS, then via f12 select with OS (Disk) to boot from during POST?? this is my best bet in this situation, but i'm trying to avoid any mishaps.
i'd appreciate your comments, cheers....
