Hi,
I have a new labtop and i want to install CentOS 7.6 on it. My labtop has two hard drives :
- A 256Go SSD
- A standard 1 To hard drive
None of the two hard drives are detected by the Centos installer consequently i can't proceed with the installation.
If i try with a Fedora server distro, then the standard hard drive is detected, the SSD one is still not detected.
I do prefer to install Centos as is is the closed Linux version from RHEL, so what can i do to solve the issue ?

Some notebooks need a change in the BIOS - the section where the disk controller is set to either AHCI or RAID or <something else>. Linux needs the controller in AHCI mode. If you set it from RAID to AHCI, then your Windows (if you plan to dual-boot) might not start anymore because its drivers expect the controller in RAID mode. This can typically be fixed - google for it.
