I just got a WD-BLACK SN770 NVMe, set it up on Windows and created 2 partitions on it through an Arch installation environment, one is 1 GB and is labelled with the GUID of an EFI system and used the remaining space to create a partition with the GUID label of Linux filesystem, then i formated the efi partition to fat32 and the linux partition into ext4., when I booted back into windows and opened Dashboard, it showed that the whole thing was unallocated even though I created the 2 partitions, I checked the windows disk management software and it showed the 2 partitions without problem, does anyone know why this is happening, there was another forum here but when I pressed it showed that it did not exist or is private. I did not install Linux on the partitions yet and the only directories in the linux partition is boot and lost+found, boot contains another directory called efi which is where the EFI system partition is mounted. other than formating the drives and creating the mount point for the efi system i have done nothing else.
That’s strange, it seems like Windows Disk Management recognizes the partitions, but the Dashboard might be having trouble reading them due to some partition table or formatting inconsistencies. Could it be that the EFI partition’s GUID label is throwing things off, or maybe Windows isn’t properly detecting the Linux filesystem partition?
