Hi, I’ve handled this before and think it should work now. You have two NVMe drives—one 1TB and one 4TB. The 4TB holds your documents and game files, while the 1TB is split in half for dual booting Linux. To add the second drive to Linux without losing data or having to wipe everything, you’ll need to format it with a partition that supports both Windows and Linux. Make sure to back up important files first, then create a new partition layout compatible with both OSes.

Come with default installation, only require manual setup based on the distribution. Installation of additional packages may be necessary depending on the distribution and storage filesystem.

I checked a bit and found a way to add the partition to /etc/fstab, then mount it. That’s how I keep my NAS accessible from my Plex server. I wasn’t too concerned about losing files since I thought it would work smoothly.
