Hello, I'm new, unfortunately as a programmer I'm a duffer, and that's also why I bought Zorin Pro to have a help in the configuration, my platform is Amd x399, I have three nvme disks that Zorin sees almost correctly even if it is he who decided where to install himself, the problem is that he does not see the mechanical hdds configured in raid from the bios, which on Zorin would be very useful to me. I don't know how to install the drivers, can you help me? Thanks
I'm Italian I use dp translator to have a wider audience (if you think I can write in Italian without translating), my disks are seagate, 2 firecuda 2tb in jbod(single mode), and two barracuda 4tera in raid 0 for 8tb; windows sees them as "amd array" and they are 3 arrays the 2 firecuda in jbod and the one 8tb array.
Zorin has chosen to install itself on the fastest disk, a sabrent, but it has made a small partition of 45gb; I don't know if I can change the directories of the file folders moving them to the samsung that has an ntfs partition, I should create an Ext4 partition but I don't know how to do it without formatting the whole disk (which already happened, but there were steam games installed so recoverable from the cloud, in fact I have also installed steam here on zorin and I would like to try it, do you know if Zorin can activate hdr?). Thanks
Unless you have other OS on your disk, the partition looks very wrong to me. I will ask other volunteers how this might be solved. @Aravisian@zabadabadoo@Kedric@tomscharbach
that sabrent disk is almost full, (of windows games) i tried during the installation to choose a different partition but it crashed, so i let Zorin install the dual boot with windows by himself, which works fine. Ah! and it doesn't see the old LG blueray burner...
I have noted that other nVME users have stated that there was a crash in the installer when using the "Something Else" option.
Are you set in your BIOS settings to AHCI or to RAID?
@Aravisian I think you need mentally translate "he" to "it" to understand the above statement by OP. My husband (true blue French) makes this mistake all time and now I got used to it In Latin languages, everything has a gender.
Italians and French were cousins until a few years ago, since this year we are blood brothers and fight together against the tyrants who rule us(sorry for ot).
What is so fascinating for me is that the same noun could have a different gender in French/German/Italian/Spanish
I was learning German at one point and got the gender mixed up in French (not easy for someone came from a genderless language = Japanese).
Manufacturer dependent: Some BIOS settings will still be able to be set to AHCI, causing the system to not properly see or read the nVME.
nVME must be set to RAID. Interestingly, another user in another thread swore up and down he was using nVME set to AHCI - which confused me greatly how he could say such.
My question was about his computer settings of his machine- his refers to the O.P.
I am uncertain if the Ubiquity installer fully understands nVME, either. I highly recommend using the "Something Else" method. If it is crashing during this, we need to figure out why.
If the installer created such a small partition, that is also odd. The installer, by default, is supposed to divide the drive (free space) in half. Unless that drive is filled to the brim by another OS, then that small 48gig partition makes no sense. Is that drive filled with data?
If this was me, I would wipe and format the drive entirely, beginning to end, prior to installing to it. Then I would use the "Something Else" option to pull up the partition manager to take full control of the partitioning.
now I understand what language the ideograms on your desk come from, I love Japan, I preferred PS5 to Xbox to support your style, Italy and Japan have many things in common even if the language is different.
It looks like you misunderstood my comment.
I was referring to this statement:
My translation into a genderless version:
I have three nvme disks that Zorin sees almost correctly even if it ishe who Zorin which decided where to install himself itself, the problem is that heit does not see the mechanical hdds configured in raid from the bios, which on Zorin would be very useful to me.
We have one major thing in common.
Just like Italian words, almost all Japanese words end with vowel. In fact, it is well know that it is easier for Japanese to learn Italian than other European languages including French (which I am still struggling with).
I must be misunderstanding something... But I cannot see how my response relates to a genderless reading. I understood the meaning. The only thing I asked was if the O.P. was set to RAID.
Ah, I see.
I underestimated your mental-correction capability for this it/he mix up. After all, I cannot compete with native speakers and I always need to convert it before I can comprehend the whole thing.
Ah, before I started to distract... I think 45GB space is bit too small for Zorin, no? I usually recommend 240GB and 120GB is absolute minimum if you ask me.
In Latin languages, everything has a gender.
