Yes, it was a Dell for me as well.  I have an XPS 13 which is odd since you can buy it with Linux pre-loaded, but if you get the Windows version is ships with this weird RAID config by default.  It has only one drive and I don’t even think there is an option for two so the RAID setting makes no sense.

Dell seems to be the "culprit". I have a Dell desktop where I had almost the same problem, except it was only with the NVME drive. If the BIOS was set to RAID mode, Windows boots and runs normally. Linux will also boot and run, since it is installed on a separate non-NVME drive, but it can't see the Windows partitions, which unfortunately includes /boot/efi. So I can't do any kernel updates (and who knows what else) unless I manually set the SATA mode to AHCI in the BIOS, in which case Linux will boot and see all the drives, but Windows will not boot. This has led to the very annoying position of having to fiddle with the BIOS every time I want to switch OS's. I'll try the process in that article. Thanks for the pointer!

Now if I can only figure out why this damn machine won't resume from hibernation properly. Windows can do it, so I'll bet it's a configuration issue somewhere.
