Hi, I have a laptop with a spare 2.5" drive bay I'd like to install a new disk into (and run Linux on).
The laptop uses Intel Rapid Storage Technology, which seems to be some sort of RAID controller. I can switch it to regular AHCI in the BIOS, but if I do that I lose the ability to dual boot with the pre-installed OS. Has anyone come across this before? Is there a way to stick with Intel RST but have un-RAIDed disks installed? Alternatively, is there a way to boot into the (Windows) installation on the already-RST-formatted disk, after switching the BIOS to AHCI? Obviously I could switch the BIOS back to RST if need be for booting on that, but can that be avoided?
