Can't install Manjaro! Sudo parted -l only shows my installer flashdrive and not my SSD

here’s what sudo parted -l gives me:

Model: SanDisk Cruzer Blade (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 15.4GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos
Disk Flags: 

Number  Start   End     Size    Type     File system  Flags
 2      3546MB  3550MB  4194kB  primary               esp

the only way I can see my drive is by typing efibootmgr -v, which gives me:

There’s my SSD, but why won’t manjaro let me install it?

Secure boot is OFF
Fast boot is OFF

I have a glitched Pop!_OS on the drive that I want to delete
KDE Partition Manager only shows the flash

thx

so:
you are not booted from the USB?
… to commence installation?

lsblk
perhaps wit command line options
like
lsblk -f

would show something different?

I AM booted from the USB right now, can’t proceed with the installation because of the “no partitions to install on”…

256GB SSD not showing up…

is RAID disabled in bios and AHCI enabled?
is it a laptop? close the lid, so that the pc is put the sleep, open lid and wake up pc and check if the ssd is detected

I will search for that RAID in the BIOS
Yes, I am at my laptop, lid trick did not work

restarting laptop to check RAID and AHCI now…

Just did that! Thanks!
It was because the RAID and AHCI option was not showing up on my BIOS, so I found out I had to press ctrl+s for it to appear…
Thanks brahma!
I can proceed with the installation now
