Im switching to Linux because when I updated my Laptop from windows 10 to 11 it could not properly start as it would just end up in a black screen even though it gave startup sound.
I want to install gnome manjaro on my ssd but when installing it only find my hdd.

this is what inxi -Fayz returns bc this was asked on a old related post.
I think i caused the problem. The disk had bitlock and since i dont have access to the recovery key, I used windows diskpart to nuke the entire disk and cleaned it. That means that there is currently no partition on the disk. People were saying that efi being enabled could be an issue but i assume that is a non issue on a cleaned disk.
Bc i found my hdd and not my ssd i disabled the hdd in bios to see if manjaro then finds my disk on a hail marry (if you are wondering why inxi didnt show it).
Edit:
Just realised that after wiping the ssd i no longer have access to the windows repair tool where i get cmd to use diskpart…
So my question is can i mount the cleaned drive even if there is no partition on it? Or is it a different issue. When i start my laptop it says no bootable devices found so efi is definitely not the issue
