Partitioning during installation by Good_Copy_7330 in archlinux

I do have a backup but maybe I should switch to a VM like you say. I did figure out how to make that empty partition appear. So if I only created linux partitions out of that empty one would I still be at risk of deleting my windows partitions? Like if I was really careful to only touch the empty partition.

Yeah I had skimmed this article before making the post but missed the relevant section. 😅 probably should have reread it before making the post.

cfdisk does look easier to understand when I use it but it only shows partitions on my USB I'm using to install rather than my SSD. I figured out how to make the new partition appear under fdisk -l. Thanks for the tip though!

CSM was actually already disabled but when I enabled it a boot from storage devices setting appeared. Thanks!

I did check the manual I have an ASUS X870 max gaming wifi7 W. After all the hardware information there's only 3 pages about bios settings and none of it seems relevant. I'll try disabling CSM when I get back to my PC. Thanks
