Support Installation and Configuration
1

Briefly describe your issue below:
I recently tried to install Parrot OS in an HP Pavillion Laptop 15 dk-dk000.
When the momento to partition the disk came, the installer didn’t detect the internal SSD drive, which is a 500GB Intel Optane

What version of Parrot are you running? (include version (e.g. 4.6), edition(e.g. Home//KDE/OVA, etc.), and architecture (currently we only support amd64)
4.7 live installer

What method did you use to install Parrot? (Debian Standard / Debian GTK / parrot-experimental)

Configured to multiboot with other systems? (yes / no)
Not yet, i was planning to

Hi @Carlos_Media,

I had a similar issue a while back with one of those hybrid HDD/SSD drives. Issue was resolved by installing Parrot using UEFI instead of standard BIOS.

Also, how did you create your live media? (Etcher/Rufus/dd) Etcher is recommended by Parrot.

I did it in balena Etcher. i also chose yes when the installer asked if I wanted to continue the install in UEFI mode

gparted detects both the 475 GB module and the 30 GB module. So i guess yeah? I read somewhere that linux cant be installed if RST/optane acceleration is enabled so that might be it

I deactivated Intel optane acceleration and both SSD modules showed up on the installer. The problem is fixed now
