I ordered a PC with no OS. I just installed windows onto the 500mb SSD. I also have in there a 2 terabyte western digital red, not yet formatted. I want to install unbuntu 20.04. I want to install it along side windows on the SSD, and share the Western digital for storage partitions.
I'm not sure how to do that. Does anyone know?
(Honestly I went overboard with the storage. I don't need that much.)
So I managed to do what I wanted. Unbuntu installed itself on the 2TB HDD. From inside windows I shrunk the windows partition to 200GB on the SSD. Then I deleted the 2TB partition from the unbuntu installer. Then I installed unbuntu on the 300GB cleared from the SSD. Then I went into windows and used diskmgmt.msc to claim the HDD for windows.
But now the new install of Linux has been really buggy.
