How do I install Bazzite on a pre-existing partition?

I’m trying to dual-boot windows and bazzite together and at the install drive page, I can’t see any partitions. Just the drives themselves. How can I get my partitions to show up? Any tutorial online only has 1 drive and it’s on a steamdeck

Resize your windows partition so you have free space on the drive

And then auto partition the free space

Note that we don't recommend dual booting this way, it's better to have them on separate drives

Windows has a habit of eating your boot priority

I can’t re-partition my Windows drive, I have a 7tb Hard drive that I want to partition for it

I shrunk the drive, I’ll come back later if I can find how to get this done

Is there any specific option for this? I don’t want to lose any data on that drive

I’ve partitioned, and the free space on the one selected is the amount I left as free space on windows

Also, selecting it causes that

In short:
You need 3 separate partitions for bazzite

EFI System partition, on a different disk as your system boot drive.
Boot partition
System partition

And also, manual partitioning isn't supported by upstream

Kyle Gospo•3/10/24, 7:28 PM

Be careful while doing this

My recommendation remains a separate drive

It isn’t clear on how to do this, and I’m also unable to use a separate drive as I have data on all of them

I’m trying to use partitions to keep my data

Bazzite isn't like any other Linux variant...
