Im trying to install Slackware to dual boot on an Alienware laptop with two 1.8T harddrives.

When I get to the section to cfdisk the drive, it won't see the second one where i want to install Linux onto.

At first I thought it was a RAID issue from what I saw on the interweb. So I changed it to ACHI in the BIOS but it still doesnt recognize the D: drive.

More research and I was led to physically moving the drive. Not a fan. I'll pick up a single drive, used laptop and wipe it and install before i open up this one.

It's running win10 right now.

One other option i have, but don't want to do is, partition the c: drive with 100 Gigs for windows and 50 for Slack. There are so many partitions on it already with all the recovery stuff. *stuff* is an industry term btw.

Thanks

Apologies as I don't have any solutions to present to you. I know
enough to know that I can't help.

Just wanted to comment on the recovery 'stuff'. In my day we used to
call that 'junk'. I used to always keep that junk, but after years of
not needing it and erasing the partitions I never looked back. Of
course that was years later, always hesitated as 'I might need it'.
