I am looking for a way to get Caine to boot a Dell XPS 13 9350 so that I can examine the internal SSD. Using a standard USB created with Rufus and Caine 8.0 and MBR I can boot the PC but the UEFI is not allowing me to see the SSD.
I have also tried Rufus, Caine and GPT for UEFI but it wont boot at all.
I have tried with secure boot on and off.
Anyone else seen this, got around it or is there a better open source tool for this?
Thanks in advance.
Turns out you cannot. If the SSD is defined in the BIOS/UEFI as RAID, Caine (and most *nixes) can't see it. Need to open it up take out the m.2 board and put it in a m.2 - USB caddy and dd a forensic copy from there. Then use mdadm to mount it as RAIDx if necessary. Have not done the final bit yet - client hesitant -<

if i am not wrong, the ssd you may be dealing with inside the xps13 is nvme m.2 ssd
i think the reason why you dont see the ssd inside caine is not becoz of uefi, its probably becoz caine doesnt come with nvme driver.
and when talking about m.2 caddy, there is no nvme compatible caddy in the market. but there are pcie writeblocker and duplicator.
i would recommend using Deft Zero instead of caine as Deft zero support nvme drive.
Thanks mansiu.
Now downloading DEFT Zero
please share with us whether it works or not
Deft Zero doesn't let me see the SSD natively. Is there some way of turning the NVME support on. There's nothing obvious and nothing in the docs.
