Dual Booting Kali Linux On Alienware Area 51 16 RAID

I just purchased an Alienware Area 51 16" with a 2TB hard drive. It is set in RAID, and I asked on Dell Community Support, and they suggested I come here. They suggested I would need a driver. Any suggestions, advice, or support would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. I am a newbie wanting to learn so please be gentle on me haha.

P.S.S. They also said not all Linux distros support IRST, hopefully Kali does! Also Kali boots into the graphical install interface but when I get to the part to choose a partition it doesn’t find anything.

Most Linux distro’s don’t like RAID mode, in UEFI set it to AHCI mode instead and Kali will see the disk.
