Hey everybody its me again, i wanted to start to “transfer” my first hdd/ssd over to manjaro. But i tried things out at the beginning and manjaro told me when i wanted to install something on my “windows drives” (they are ntfs formated) that this wont work and i should not do that. So that means in…

It’s difficult to interpret what you’re trying to do. :question: Are you trying to access your files on the NTFS partition to be able to copy them over to your Linux home partition? :white_check_mark: If so, you can mount the NTFS partition as read-only. :question: Are you trying to use the N…

Okay maybe i wasnt clear enough, my bad :slight_smile: . In my pc are multiple Drives (hdd’s and an ssd). I always used windows.

No, I want to use my disks as normal disks . Manjaro is installed but I don’t want to install games on my OS drive. For example I want to install planet zoo but I want to install it on D not C (which is the Nvme drive ) and access the game . But I was told by Manjaro that that is a bad idea cause di…

I was in the same situation once… My recommendation is: Clean up under windows, as far as possible, and defragment the drives. Then shrink the Windows partition with windows tools and create a new ext4-formatted partition with Manjaro. In general, it is recommended to disable fast startup and hibe…
