I am trying to burn a windows 11 iso to a blueray disk (25GB) but neither Brasero or K3B can find the empty disk. I have no idea how to get my system to recognize it. I am not sure it can even recognize my cd drive at all as I am a beginner to linux. I am hoping to dual boot into WIndows 11.
It looks like it did detect the drive but only as Read-Only?
When I insert the disk, it does audibly spin inside the machine.
When I insert a CD that has content on it, it mounts with no issues. It only seems to be having an issue with the blank disk
It looks like the issue is that my computer doesn't have a blueray reader, but my new issue is that I can't burn the Windows 11 iso to a regular 4.7GB CD because the iso is too large. Is there any way I can install windows to dual boot from?

use Ventoy to prep a USB stick. put win iso on it. you'll need an 8 GB blankable stick
before you do that, you need to know the current boot mode of your mint install
****To see if Linux is booted/installed as UEFI or BIOS mode:
In terminal: ls /sys/firmware/efi
a 'no files found' means it's booted as legacy BIOS
install win 11 by booting the ventoy usb the same 'mode' as the above result.
pretty sure Windows 11 must install in UEFI mode, so hopefully your Mint install already is.

memory cardd+reader / slot?

I do have a slot but no spare sd cards atm
ruby root
the BIOS would have to support cardslot boot as well

I'll need to go out and buy a spare usb drive
