From my understanding :  
⋅ you still have SecureBoot enabled.

Another cause of disc not showing :  
⋅ Intel Optane or RST → look for Sata Mode in your bios, it should be on AHCI, not RST.

Sorry for the word « wipe » it was my translation mistake, I was thinking delete or erase. Now it’s done so… not bad after all 😉

My [sources](https://www.qwant.com/?q=+site%3Aforum.ubuntu-fr.org+optane) are in french, but advices are often :  
⋅ in bios disable FastBoot  
⋅ in bios disable SecureBoot  
⋅ in Windows ( not your case ) disable Fast Startup  
⋅ in Windows ( not your case ) use Intel tools to disable Intel Optane  
⋅ in bios set Sata mode to AHCI

I found the solution it was a mix of what Coeur-Noir sent me and what i originally figured out about the boot log. Coeur-Noir was right in the whole disk wipe to unalocated space and full re-install, but the bios also needed the correct .efi to boot into. I had to manually tell the bios to boot the shimx64.efi file to be able to use the Linux partition

Aaah ! Great news !

**tell the bios to boot the shimx64.efi**

I’ll keep that as a reminder for me, thanks.
