Could not install Manjaro into HDD (It couldn't see the driver)

I’ve also tried Mint but same issue, the problem might be that the hard drive with free space (250GB free out of 1TB) is not SSD where the system is installed, and I am not allowed to use SSD.

Is there any way I can install Manjaro into HDD? Thanks.

Welcome to the forum!

Make sure that the drive is set to AHCI in the UEFI firmware settings, not to RAID or anything else.

ok thx now Manjaro can boot up but the windows boot manager is missing in the boot menu… how do I fix it?

If you need dual-boot you must reactivate os-prober the easiest with the following command combination in a terminal:

echo GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false|sudo tee -a /etc/default/grub && sudo update-grub

Afterwards, reboot.
