Are you trying to install OpenMandriva Lx or other Linux?
Looks like a BIOS setting. They may call that UEFI Firmware settings on newer computers. See this and this.
@leonski I asked a question of our developers where they hang out on IRC. Here is what I asked:
< ben79> Question developers: User having a problem installing Linux on UEFI class 3 machine and I would like to know a bit more about this also.
< ben79> For Linux users are there any real differences with installing and using Linux, and OMLinux in particular with EFI class 3 machines?
< ben79> In my reading so far it looks as if there might be some differences in UEFI Firmware settings (what we tend to call BIOS) but other wise seems like it would be the same.
Edit: Our user channel on IRC is #openmandriva @ Freenode. You are welcome to go there and ask and eventually someone will reply. I say eventually because we are a small all volunteer group of contributors. So we all do what we can when we can but things like day jobs and family, well you know.
Thank you very much for the information, I am grateful for your effort and time. Now I’m going to try to do it.
Thanks again and best regards

There is no support AHCI on bios, I try everything what I found on net but it doesn’t go so I just quit.
And i am looking for some other solution.

There has to be a setting for SATA devices for Selecting at least either Raid or ACHI. If there is not you should return that computer. Not to have ACHI for SATA would be very, very, odd.
It is usually listed under something like SATA controller or SATA storage or Storage Devices or something like that.
I haven’t been active for a long time, but if I’m going to help someone with installing dual boot, linux and windows10 on Acer Nitro5 515-54
I want to share a link that shows how to exit the RAID array and switch to AHCI mode. After which linux can be installed and a dual boot can be made with windows10
Thanks for tip @leonski .
The OM Lx ISO’s have some options under “Troublshooting”
I wonder if we should discuss whether to add a “Turn of RST” option if that is possible.
Edit: Reading some more about this, it requires changing settings in BIOS and I do not know if any Linux installer could do that.
Note: As far as we know this has not been tried with any version of OM Lx yet, but it should work. If anyone knows about this we would really love to hear from you.
