Hello everyone. I am trying to install Kali Linux (64 bit) ver 2017.3 on a Dell XPS 13 9360 (64 bit), alongside with Windows 10 (64bit) on my C: drive. I got a UEFI boot mode enabled in BIOS and I am trying to install Kali from a bootable USB. In order to run the USB, I had to disable the Secure Boot option in my BIOS.
To create the FAT32 USB, I used the Win32 Disk Imager and a valid .iso file from the official site. (https://www.kali.org/downloads/)
I also created enough unallocated space on the SSD, see this image: 2913.
The problem:
When I run the graphical installation from the bootable usb, I can proceed up to the point where I have to manage paritions. I select Manual creation of parition, yet only my Bootable USB shows as available, no SSD disk detected, nothing, similarly as in this picture (http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=32243620170518132211.jpg) from this thread (https://forums.kali.org/showthread.php?34487-Kali-doesn-t-detect-hard-disk-for-the-insallation&highlight=recognize+disk).
Things I tried to do (and did not help):
Reformat the unallocated space to ext4
Run installation with Secure Boot on
Force and not force the UEFI installation (this step (http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=27843020170518132716.jpg))
Things that might be relevant:
At the beginning of the installation, I am getting this firmware files missing warning - 2914.
I would appreciate any help or guide, I searched several forums on the Internet, many of them just don't seem to me to be related to this issue. Thanks.
