rherbertYou already installed windows os on SSD only without extra partitions is SSD.I had already (1) disabled fast boot and (2) disabled secure boot. I have not been able to locate uefi in bios to disable it. I have tried with a usb boot for fedora and opensuse tumbleweed. I cannot try to install on my notebook's ssd since that is the drive that does not show up even when running gnome disc utilities from a usb boot of fedora.
When I run fedora off a usb boot and open up folders, I am able to find "Computer" [ssd] and "DATA[HDD]" [hdd] drives but when view I select properties I can access my hdd drive but not my ssd since I am not the owner of "root" and I do not have permission. I did look around in my notebook, with windows running, and noted that my ssd [OS(C:)] is owned by "TrustedInstaller" and I cannot change ownership. Also, do not have access to my EFI System Partition on C:.
Is there something to enable/disable/select in Bios to reveal an option to diable uefi? I will give it a try but "permissions" and "ownership" will not be affected by uefi.
As for a pendrive, that will not affect ownership either.
Thoughts?
