I solved the issue of the installer not recognizing drive with Intel Smart Response Technology by

To get the Ubuntu live installer (normal version) to detect the drive, in the 'Try Ubuntu before Installing' option, open a terminal and try the commands on this page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php...ID#Load_dmraid (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installing_with_Fake_RAID#Load_dmraid). I think all that is needed is
# modprobe dm_mod
# dmraid -ay
# ls -la /dev/mapper/
Then you can open the installer in the Live session and install.

You must also go back to Windows and open the 'Intel Rapid Storage Technology' application and go to the 'Accelerate' Tab. Disable acceleration (this will not lose any data but will automatically back up some data if you are using maximised option). Then you should be able to restart into GRUB. You may need to try reinstalling GRUB (Google it). If the GRUB screen is present then you can go back to Windows and re-enable acceleration in 'Intel Rapid Storage Technology'.

but now how can I get the Rapid boots to work on Windows 10?

These are now older threads, so do not know if they still apply. Intel SRT seems to be identical across brands.
