Problems intsalling Ubuntu 20.04 on my new workstation (no disks/partitions are shown within the installer)

US flag

My first post within this forum. Glad to become a part of this community.

I am coming for help, because I have tried many things and my problem persists.

I am trying to install Ubuntu together with Windows (or at least Ubuntu alone) in my new workstation (M.2 unit). I managed to install windows first (I have created a partition for Ubuntu as well) and then I was expecting the installer to show the option "Install Ubuntu with Windows"...but actually when it comes to see the units avaialble for installation, there is only sda and no other options are allowed (create new partitions table for example is not available).

It is weird since the beginning, because I can navigate within the installer butonly woth the keyboard, mouse pointer is shown, but unable to move.

I have played with RAID settings (SATA mode AHCI, NVMe RAID mode enabled), CSM settings (enabled/disabled)...but nothing changes.

I have created my Ubuntu USB installer using Rufus, and it succeeded installing Ubuntu on a laptop, so installation media seems to be OK.

I am using ASUS UEFI BIOS utility. Please fin attached a link with all the screenshots of reliable (at least for me) BIOS settings and how they are now...If more info is needed please do not hesitate to ask, stuck on this a few days :(

I have installed Ubuntu alone or dual boot a thousand times and this is the first time I have issues with this...may it be related to M.2 unit?

Hoe anyone can help...Thanks in advance

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
