This is the sister question: Legion Y530-15ICH doesn't detect wireless adapter .

After two days of running up the wall, I was able to boot this piece of junk. Unfortunately, it cannot detect HDD it's supposed to have. Tomorrow I'll call the retailer and, hopefully, they will be able to tell what HDD did they put inside: I don't want to open it, since that would void the warranty.

So, lsblk, parted, fdisk -- all of them are confident that the only persistent storage attached to this laptop is an SSD drive. Fortunately, I was able to boot from it, unfortunately, I actually would love to have HDD working as well.

The spec only gives me this:

1TB (7200RPM) Sata

Which is not a lot to go on...

Oh, and no matter the settings in BIOS, BIOS itself cannot see the HDD. I tried using UEFI shell to see what devices does it think are there, but I'm not familiar with the tool and don't know how to interpret the output (it sees dozens of "devices").

Any ideas what could I try to detect it? It's hard to believe it was dead on delivery, and even if that, isn't there at least some way to tell "hey, there's this dead body in your laptop that might have been an HDD"?

Your disk is broken or disconnected.

You can check in UEFI settings if you are in AHCI or RST mode for the hardrive. RST mode doesn't allow to install.
