Today my wife's windows10 lenovo laptop was not starting normally, cycling through various "repair" screens. It does seem to work at least minimally though.
I tried booting of my f32 usb stick and thought maybe I could take a look at the SSD. But when I start gnome disks, the internal SSD doesn't show up! lsblk doesn't show it. I looked through journalctl and saw some reference to ATA1, and I believe some kind of error.
Anyone have any idea what's going on? The SSD is working enough to boot windows and run various things like file manager, so why doesn't it show in linux? _______________________________________________
largely rhetorical questions for your consideration:
My new desktop machine came with windows installed on a SSD, and Fedora couldn't see the SSD until I changed one of the properties of the SSD in the bios from "Raid" to whatever the alternative was. Then Fedora was able to see it OK.
