Windows 10: Windows/Ubuntu Dual Install Issue and Intel RST

I have a laptop Acer Aspire A515-54G (128GB SSD & 1TB HDD) with windows 10 installed in the SSD. Recently, I needed to install Ubuntu in dual boot, so I shrinked the HDD since it had free space. But Ubuntu installation failed since Intel RST was enabled.

I google the issue and followed this article. Please have a look.

https://samnicholls.net/2016/01/14/how-to-switch-sata-raid-to-ahci-windows-10-xps-13/

Following the article, I changed the storage device driver to Microsoft Storage Spaces Controller and then from the BIOS I changed the SATA settings to AHCI. All according the article.

After I completed all the steps from the article, I was able to install and run Ubuntu perfectly but now Windows wouldn't boot giving the stop code INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE.

After a lot of googling, I was able to run the windows in safe mode from advanced options. My intention was to change the driver setting back.

Here I have these questions:

1. How can I fix my Windows?
2. Should changing the storage driver in safe mode would help in any way? If yes, which one do I select since I dont remember the exact name of the previous ones there are a lot of options within Intel and I do not really want to experiment with them. See the picture below.

I would be extremely grateful for your help.

Intel RST service is not running

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

The Intel RST service is for the Intel Rapid Storage Driver. The Intel Rapid Storage Driver provides speed for data transfer and improves the performance for SATA drives or PCIe drives.

• What is the make and model of the computer and motherboard?
  

You can follow the methods mentioned below and check if that helps:

Method 1: Changing the startup type for Service

You can try changing the startup type for the Intel RST service and check if that makes a difference. Please refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Press and hold Windows key + R, to open
   Run dialog box.
   
2. Type serivces.msc and click on
   OK.
   
3. Now, scroll down, look for Intel RST service, right click on it and click on
   Properties.
   
4. Now, under startup type select Automatic from the drop down menu.
   
5. Click on Apply and OK.
   

Method 2: Updating the drivers manually

You can try downloading the latest version of Intel Rapid Storage Driver from the

Intel Website and check if that helps. However, I would suggest checking with the motherboard manufacturer website as well.

If you are using RAID configuration, I suggest you to post your query in

TechNet forums, where we have support professionals who are well equipped with the knowledge on RAID configuration.
