I have deleted all my partitions, freed all the space using the Ubuntu installer that is booted up from a USB flash drive that had Ubuntu burned into it using Rufus. So after deleting all the partitions the electricity went off. Never happened in years until this exact moment.

I turned on my laptop, an HP notebook 14-r2009nx, and booted from the USB. But now I can't find the HDD. I look for it in the device for boot installation drop-down menu and nothing. I can only find the USB drive.

I looked for answers, and people are saying change SATA mode from the BIOS. I looked in my BIOS settings and I didn't find anything with the word SATA. I couldn't find where to change my HDD from IDE to AHCI.

    You should see hard drive in UEFI/BIOS settings. It may say RAID or Intel RST and that is what needs to be AHCI.

And if SSD update its firmware. – oldfred Feb 02 '20 at 19:51
  • I don't see the hard drive in the system configuration => uefi boot order, i can see it in the legacy boot order section – Anas Latique Feb 02 '20 at 20:11
  • Its not the boot order, but the UEFI settings & one of the tabs. With HP probably escape f10. https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03801890 – oldfred Feb 02 '20 at 22:10
