Thank you for the quick reply. So I did think about changing from RAID to AHCI, but I am not sure how I should go about it safely if anything could go wrong with the os. There is an option for Legacy boot mode but I think since I am able to boot into the installer that shouldn't be a problem, or is it? And yes I did select the verify qubes before the install qubes option, and it did for upto 8% and it said it failed and froze on me. Just to make sure that the problem was with the internal ssd not being recognized I connected via a usb and external HDD and qubes did recognized that in the installation destination page. So I really don't know how should I get internal disk to be detected for installation. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
