Problem
Today I tried to install Ubuntu on a new MSI notebook, but encountered an error when I need to choose the partition: system message tell me, the current device cannot found any disk.
The problem is so weird. I tried to find the discussion on Internet, and understand it was because of the RAID (Intel RST) is default of MSI notebook, and the ubuntu installation process cannot found RAID.
Solution
Many people said we need to switch the SSD mode from Instel RST to AHCI, but I have no the option on my BIOS.
I need the different solution. An enthusiastic Internet user share his solution and help me solve the problem:
- At the BIOS menu, using RCtrl + RShift + LAlt + F2 to open the advanced menu.
- Go to "System Agent (SA) Configuration" > "VMD Configuration".
- Disable the "Enable VMD Controller" option.
And now, you can restart the computer and you can install Ubuntu.
