I plan to use Linux mint again on a partition on my 2nd SSD will windows be able to affect it

small raft
#

A likely event would be Windows overwriting Grub during updates.

sacred monolith
#

Than windows?

small raft
#

Unlikely, as far as I know.

wdym by that

I mean I have 2 SSD one with windows and the other for storage, I shrank the volume on 2nd SSD so I have 734 GB of space on the 2nd SSD for mint now

small raft
#

Good call.

sacred monolith
#

Would this work?

#

Those 3 TB are for storage on windows

#

And the 700gb is for mint

small raft
#

Oh rip, you're now manually partitioning.

sacred monolith
#

I mean I made a partition with disk manager in windows and I'm selecting it in the installer

small raft
#

I can't see the entire view properly so it's a bit difficult for me to say.

Can you please try and see what the change button does?

sacred monolith
small raft
#

Just to be clear, the install now button in the main view is dimmed?

sacred monolith
#

No it is not

small raft
#

Oh okay lol, let's try that one

sacred monolith
#

So press install?

small raft
#

Yep

sacred monolith
#

No root file system is defined

small raft
#

That was pretty stupid of the installer... or me.

#

Where you at now?

sacred monolith
small raft
#

Click that minus sign over there

sacred monolith
#

Ok I did

small raft
#

How's it look like now?

sacred monolith
#

The same

#

It just put me back at the top

small raft
#

Can I see?

Not sure, it's been a year since I last did that.

sacred monolith
#

I somehow figured it out

small raft
#

How's it now?

You on a Linux Mint install now?
