[Installation] Issues dual booting on ROG G713I

[Okamizer0]

Subject pretty much says it all. I've been trying to install Debian on a partitioned SSD (with 30GB),but keep running into the issue of the installer not finding free partition. It detects all other drives normally. I've disabled disk encryption via windows and secure boot via the BIOS. I've tried to partition the drive using Gparted, but it's failing upon boot even in failsafe mood. I'm thinking I'm missing a security setting built in by the manufactures, but nothing in the BIOS sticks out as stopping me nor have I been able to find anyone else running into these issues. I normally don't reach out to forums like this, but this has me legit stomped

What is the ISO image you are using to install Debian ?

I have a G713QM and everything works fine here, although I am using the backported kernel, nouveau for graphics and Xfce as DE to keep things simple, I'm not sure if it was this laptop or another but I had to change from RAID to AHCI for disks in UEFI settings which may be needed.

EDIT NOTE: I also compiled/installed asusctl from https://gitlab.com/asus-linux/asusctl to manage fan curves and leds.

AHCI was the default for my drives out of the box. Can't get pass the starting set up tho because Debian doesn't see the partition I made to get past that step in the install

[Dai_trying]

What I would try is removing/deleting the new partition you created and just leave free space for the installer to use, that way it should see the free space, maybe there is a problem with the partitioning?
