Back when I was first in high school, I got into torrenting and gave myself pretty bad malware that just black-screened my laptop, and even though it had shipped with windows, the installer would not detect my ssd for whatever reason. Linux detected my hardware and I installed Ubuntu, then Mint, and I moved to Arch a few years ago after having learned the ropes. That’s about when I fully spiralled into linux nerd.

bios probably defaulted to using a storage mode (like ‘raid’ or intel’s rst) that requires ‘f6’ drivers loaded during windows setup. solution would have been to either find those drivers or switch bios to ‘normal’ ahci mode.
