Switching between AHCI and RAID on the Dell XPS 15 (9560)

This guide likely applies to other models and, potentially, even laptops from other OEMs that have NVME drives. However, I've only tested this on my Dell XPS 15 (9560) with the OEM Windows installation from the Signature Edition model.

Switching from RAID to AHCI

Switching from RAID to AHCI is significantly simpler than switching from AHCI to RAID. All that's needed is a successful boot to Safe Mode.

1. To set the default boot mode to Safe Mode, use msconfig.exe or open an admin cmd/PowerShell window and run:

# A xterm-256color based TERMINFO that adds the escape sequences for italic.
#
# Install:
#
#   tic xterm-256color-italic.terminfo
#
# Usage:
#
#   export TERM=xterm-256color-italic
#

# aptitude is incompatible with a terminal in solarized dark.
# So we need to tweak aptitude's color style.
# Put the following lines in `/etc/apt.conf` or `~/.aptitude/config`.

Aptitude::UI::Styles {
  Default {
    bg default;
  };
  DepBroken {
    fg white;

First attempting to use Capybara directly, you will ran into issues when trying to set HTTP header. Using Basic HTTP Authentication requires that we needed to set the header. Also we need to set the Content-Type and Accept headers to ensure that Rails handles the input and output correctly. When using Rack, Capybara delegates request and response handling down to Rack::Test. So I used Rack::Test directly in my step definitions, and it works. Rack::Test has a module called Rack::Test::Methods that can be mixed into a class to provide it with methods for get, post, put, delete as well as last_request, last_response, header and more. I mixed Rack::Test::Methods into the Cucumber world at the top of our API steps file like so:
