Dear All
Newbie here.
I have been trying out many different Linux versions on a Samsung 850 Pro SATA SSD and usually see an option to "Install alongside .." when installing a second Linux version. After that, there's the boot menu at startup which allows me to select which one I want to boot.
I've now switched to a Samsung V-NAND 950 Pro M.2 SSD and no longer see the "Install alongside ..." option when I try to install a second Linux version. I've tried starting over erasing/re-installing but this hasn't helped. For example, I installed Fedora Workstation 25 x64 after first deleting all partitions and reclaiming the space. When I tried to install Linux Mint Cinnamon 18.1 x64, afterwards, it said it couldn't detect any existing OS on the SSD.
I'm not confident enough to try manually creating/editing boot partitions. I just want to find out what's changed and whether this is some limitation with M.2 SSD's.
Thanks in advance.
