Hello forum,
recently, I bought a Dell XPS 15 (9570) and wanted to install Manjaro on it, which should replace the preinstalled Windows. Facing a couple of other issues, I could resolve them with some help in the Newbie Corner, but this one seems very weired and I can't figure out how to solve this issue.
Issue:
When I boot Manjaro from my USB Stick the installer doesn't find any hard drive to install Manjaro on. The section "Partitions" is just empty. Even Gparted only finds the Live USB.
This is the log of Calamares:
