If that was indeed the problem, the way to "keep" windows working is to
reinstall it in AHCI mode. Its recovery tools may or may not be able to
fix that too.

Hello Liam,
For NixOS to work, you have to change the SSD controller from RAID ON to
AHCI. This effectively *breaks *the windows install. As of today I haven't
found a better way to switch to windows than to change this SSD setting
each time I want to boot to another OS.
I wrote something about my NixOS install for a Dell XPS 15, you can read
about it here https://jtanguy.cleverapps.io/installing-nixos-on-a-xps-9560/
Domen Kožar pointed me out on Twitter to another config, with a more
elaborate setup with LUKS and such :

I hope you find what you need.

Hey all,
I've been trying to install NixOS on the new XPS 13 but I've found that
NixOS can't find the drive in /dev/. There's no listing for /sdax or /nvmex.
I've looked online and found that changing some bios settings (Something
about raid) makes it show up, however doing that stops windows booting.
I'm thinking this could be related to the lenovo controversy
https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/53ri0m/warning_microsoft_signature_pc_program_now/.
The comments say that a Linux compatible driver should be available now but
do I have to enable it somehow? How would I do this for the LiveCD?
I'm brand new to Nix and NixOS so I'm sorry if I missed anything.
Thanks.
Liam
