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.
