What am I doing wrong here? The computer has Windows 11 on it but I don’t want to use it I want it all the way off the machine.

Can this installer not overwrite the Windows OS with Debian? Edit: Just want to say thanks to all of you I’m going to experiment around with the advice you all have given and see how it works out! Absolutely love the passion and helpfulness of this community here on Lemmy for real!

    So installer is not recognizing your hard disk. There are plenty of potential causes but One thing to check is bios configuration of the disk drive, is the drive configured as raid? I’ve run into that a couple of times recently.

      I had this issue. A laptop with a single ssd was configured as raid 0 in bios out of the box. Changed it – debian immediately recognizes the drive.
