Ubuntu installation on computers with Intel(R) RST enabled

Documentation

Hi. I just wanted to make you aware that tutorial from this post does not work at all for me (Dell Latitude).

  1. Changing registry in Windows didn’t help (Windows didn’t boot)
  2. While trying to repair Windows: none of bcdedit /deletevalue commands worked. Error:

An error occurred while attempting to delete the specified data element. Element not found.

  1. Bcdboot section: none of the two configurations describe volumes on my device (I’ve got Windows freshly installed, no changes on disk after installation). I’ve got one C volume (with Windows), one volume NFTS 508 MB and one FAT32 100 MB.
  2. None of those volumes contain boot folder I could cd into.

To sum up: hardly any steps from this tutorial worked as expected. Moreover, you’ve got even more outdated version of it here: Intel RST (containing non-existent commands like activate). This is the link Ubuntu propose to user when installation fails due to this storage incompatibility.

I suggest you either fix this post or delete it, because it doesn’t help anyone and create confusion to users how want to install Ubuntu.
