rherbertI tbink you confused. and you didn't know about commands so take your laptop to nearest service center and then ask person to install linuxNormally working in command prompts there are different levels of permission. Is there a permission/password level to change to for C: to be formatted perhaps?

rherbertI have vivobook 15 X542UQ . .I have downloaded fedora workstation live iso and made bootable pendrive,I am not confused. I did diskpart from an USB flashdrive with an old copy of windows [Win10_1909]. That may be an issue. However, I am not worng about adminstration levels when entering command prompts. I have read up in "trustedinstaller" and it is a problem for many individuals. I need a password to grant me permission to access and reformat my SSD. There is nothing that can happen at a service centre that cannot be done here or through emails if privacy is a concern. Besides, I am unaware of a "service centre" near me in Atlantic Canada and with Covid 19 restrictions, this forum or email is an appropriate forum.

I booted with that pendrive, choosed live fedora, I checked all SSD and HDD can be seen or not, I can able to see Samsung m.2 SSD sata clearly.
Even in opensuse does not give live option, but opensuse bootable pendrive has detected SSD and HDD also .
If you had NVme SSD then might not detecting in fedora.

As for recognizing and installing, I am unable to install Opensuse and Fedora, but I am also unable to install Win10_20H2_v2. In case it was a problem with my USB flashdrives, I purchased new ones and opened the Win10 iso onto it. That new Win10 USB flashdrive could accesss repair functions but when I attempted to install fresh, the USB flashdrive was not recognized (???) and attempted to reformat the flashdrive.
I do need to get this SSD up and running or have it replaced with 1 TB SSD that can be accessed. Asus has good products. My 2012 purchase of a 1 TB HDD/AMD A6 laptop is still in use for media. So, I am not upset - but I do need to get this laptop up and running to replace my HP Envy.
