I used only diskdrake.  parted and gparted would report errors.  I had to
cancel to get out of the error message.  The module nvme loaded as enabled is
from modifying /etc/modprobe.preload with nvme.  I also had created a new ISO
and modified this file and it does indeed enable it upon boot.  lsmod | grep
nvme

does report that nvme and nvme-core modules are loaded.

I just used the Windows diskmngt tools to shrink by 160GB for OMLX 3.0.
I will be testing that shortly. So now there exist 160GB unallocated storage.

The hard drive is using a special RAID configuration.  There is a special BIOS
patch that provide a AHCI support.  The RAID mode should be the NVME mode. 
NVME is where the SSD drive market is headed for laptops and desktops.

As a note from Lenovo:

and Ideapad systems, Lenovo has provided Linux Only BIOS for the following

Before I undertake loading the BIOS, I will make a backup copy first.
