    I recently tried installing Linux next to Windows in order to begin the transition, but my system has Intel Rapid Storage and Linux doesn’t like that. Someday I hope to find a solution or get another drive to move off the data so I can disable RST.

      what’s the problem using RST with Linux?

      Just asking, my old laptop too has RST, but no problems with Linux. (Granted, the manufacturer’s website states I should install only 8GBs of RAM max and once I used 16GB in it, and had some strange… memory related issues sometimes… with 12, there’s no problem. Tho this wasn’t a Linux problem, my laptop just hanged after booting into anything. (Linux, Windows, memtest, anything, really))

        I honestly don’t know. Just that I tried to install Mint and it booted from USB just fine, but gave an error when I tried to run the installer. I don’t recall the error message anymore but when I googled it, the problem was RST being enabled. I (dumbly) disabled it and rebooted into Windows only to find a drive missing. Thought I lost it but after re-enabling and rebooting a couple of times it came back.

        I decided not to play until I could move that data and then reformat the drive without RST.

      @Kraven_the_Hunter
      If you like to tinker: Out of my head, you can disable RST, but windows must be started after disabling it in safe mode for the next boot, this will disable the RST driver and let windows correct this. Restart windows normally afterwards. Then linux should find your disk.

      Disclaimer: This is out of my head and might not work. Have a restoreable backup of your data. Please consult the search engine of your choice for some further information.
