Pop OS doesn’t show second SSD

Goldrunner4810 · January 17

My friend just switched from Fedora to Pop OS, but now his second SSD doesn’t show up. I checked in the disks utility, gparted and lsblk. It is formatted NTFS, but it did work before on Fedora and it does show up in the BIOS. He doesn’t care if he has to format it, there is nothing important on that drive.

Does that drive have Windows on it?

If so, make sure that Fast Startup is disabled. Windows puts a lock on the filesystem, because Fast Startup is basically a form of hibernation, and changing data on the drive could corrupt the Windows install.

Nope, but my friend told me he was just gonna switch back to windows. A shame because I literally had zero problems with Linux on my laptop.
