I have an old legacy machine with linux only that i was going to create the usb stick with if all else failed.

Was able to use Rufus to create the usb stick in windows, but ran into other issues during install to have a dual boot system.

The issues seem to be with RAID and not being able to see the D: drive which is where I want to install Slackware.

Ive Disabled RAID in the Bios, but teh machine wouldn't start.

I partitione the C: drive during setup with cfdisk and installed Slack but the machine wouldn't start and the diagnostics eventually had me reinstall windows.
