I have Windows installed on my SSD (sdb), but its recovery and EFI partitions were created by default on my HDD (sda). I have another partition on the HDD for storing some files.

This is the information I got from Ubiquity with a general description of each partition (taken from the Windows partitioning tool):

  • sda1: Windows recovery partition
  • sda2: Windows EFI partition
  • sda3: NTFS general use partition
  • sdb is occupied by one NTFS Windows partition.

When I tried to install Ubuntu as usual, it didn't recognize Windows. I read how to set up Ubuntu's partitions manually, but it said I couldn't do it while keeping the other sda partitions.

Is there a way to do it without losing them?
