New M.2 and first install
Hi all,
I am very new to Bazzite. I have used Ubuntu before at a basic level. I recently purchased a new M.2 drive and flashed bazzite to a USB. Trying to load onto a PC. Through the install process the only drive bazzite sees is the USB drive. I am not sure how to find the M.2 drive that is connected. Do I need to format the M.2 drive first? If so, from a Win11 machine what format am I looking for?
I don't quite know what to do and I have not seen anything to guide me properly. Suggestions?

You shouldn't need to format the m.2 drive first. Can you see the drive from Windows or another OS?
From Win11, I have the option to initialize the disc before gaining access with MBR and GPT partition styles, which I have not done, but the option is available in Disk Management. Prior OS installs normally find the M.2 and I can easily install.
If Windows can see it but the Anaconda installer cannot, it wouldn’t hurt to format it
I just checked to see if Ubuntu can see it natively and it can. With Bazzite, I would have to "add disk" (I think) as the only drive it sees is the USB drive which has bazzite on it. Is there a way to search to locate the nvme0n1 to add it (I think this is the name, at least what Ubuntu noted it as)?
I switched which port the m.2 goes in and it shows now. Thanks for your help.
