New linux user : manjaro doesn't recognize my partitions for installing

[Aragorn]

Welcome to the forum!

i dualbooted manjaro with unetbootin to drive C without dvd or usb and it booted succesfully and the problem is when i want to install it, in the part when you choose the drive partition to install, it just show windows 10 partition(47gb) and unkown(463gb) and it dosen’t show my other 3 partitions that i have in windows disk management.

That is not the right way of doing it. Download Ventoy for Windows, prepare a USB stick with it, and then drag & drop the Manjaro ISO into the Ventoy folder on the stick. You will then be able to boot up from it, and even add other ISOs to the folder — it gives you a menu at boot time.

i tried formating my other partition from NTFS to FAT32 or exFAT but it didn’t help.

GNU/Linux is a UNIX-family operating system and must not be installed on a Microsoft filesystem. It requires a filesystem with UNIX/POSIX file ownership and permissions support. Microsoft filesystems do not support that.

Since you appear to be an absolute beginner, please allow me to post a couple of useful articles and tutorials.

[Consideration] Is Manjaro the right distribution for you?

Manjaro is NOT suitable for everyone No, it’s not. And we — as the helpful community members of this forum — regularly have to explain this to the newcomers. Or at least, if we get the chance, because it is not exactly unheard of that a vocal newbie throws it out there themselves in a fit of frustration — if not arrogance or entitlement, because there’s a lot of that going round as well. So why is Manjaro not a distribution for everyone? 1. Manjaro is a rolling-release distribution This mea…

[Tutorial] Understanding and working with UNIX filesystems and permissions

Difficulty: ★★★☆☆ Note: This post is meant as a tutorial. Please do not post on this thread regarding any problems you’re having with permissions, but start a new thread instead. Thank you. PREAMBLE: THE HISTORICAL BACKGROUND If you are new to the world of GNU/Linux ─ and especially if you come from the Microsoft Windows ecosystem ─ then you will undoubtedly have already noticed that GNU/Linux handles permissions and storage volumes quite differently from what you might be used to …

[Tutorial] Working with additional 'drives'

Difficulty: ★★☆☆☆ 1. INTRODUCTION Microsoft Windows started its life as a graphical user interface on top of MS-DOS, a 16-bit single-user, single-tasking operating system that in turn originated as 86DOS, an unauthorized 16-bit rewrite (by Tim Paterson of Seattle Computer) of Digital Research’s originally 8-bit CP/M operating system. Both CP/M and MS-DOS were at the time developed for computers that did not support any other storage media than floppy disks. Considering this legacy, Microsof…

[HowTo] Updating Manjaro as safely as possible

The golden rule — which nobody follows, of course — when using a rolling-release distribution…: Always apply the bundled updates by way of the command line in a tty while completely logged out of your graphical environment, so that no shared libraries will be in use that will be overwritten by the update process. The safest way even would be to cleanly reboot your system first before applying any updates, and to then switch to a tty and run the update process from there without logging into…
