Greetings to all ^^
I installed Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.1 ‘Xia’ last night and noticed a small problem: I can't install Steam games on my secondary SSD...
I think this drive is in read-only mode.
Do you think that's the case? If so, can you help me, please? If you think it's something else, could you tell me what I need to do?
Thank you in advance and have a great morning ^^

PS: This Linux is the only operating system on this computer.

Hi! Please launch Disk and check if the secondary SSD is mounted. Moreover, it must be in ext4 file format

Hello, I just checked, and this secondary SSD is properly mounted.
Where can I see the file format?
Sorry, this is my first time using Linux.

Ah Nice. You can launch the application Disks ... click on the secondary drive. Its in contents section

Ah ! I am so sorry, English is not my native language, so my interface is not in this language...

i see ... unfortunately, you need to reformat that to ext4, but be careful if you have important files in that SSD card because it will be deleted

I figured out how to format
Would you recommend a quick or full format? And with GPT partitioning?
