Windows 10: Windows Installation Not Recognizing 512GB NVMe Drive After Linux Mint

I recently installed Linux Mint as a full installation on my system with a 512GB NVMe drive. Now, I want to switch back to Windows. I created a bootable Windows flash drive and booted from it. However, when I select the 'Custom install' option, my 512GB NVMe drive doesn't appear. I'm unable to proceed with the installation.I've tried several troubleshooting steps, including checking BIOS settings and disk management tools, but the drive is still not visible. What could be causing this issue, and how can I resolve it?

Unable to access Windows after installed Linux Mint

Hello

So I installed Linux Mint on my laptop alongside Windows 11. Initially it was working well but I noticed that the Root drive for Linux was already full and I couldn't resize it. So I decide to unistall it and reinstall with bigher margins of space in all Linux partitions. Thisis where I messed something up. I accidentally deleted Windows boot files partition and immediately received Boot Device missing error upon restarting my computer. I figured I could create a bootable windows installation USB through Linux, so reinstalled Linux, created a bootable Windows device but somehow it is not recognizing the earlier version of Windows and unable to solve the problem.

I have tried other solution mentioned here like- Diskpart -> list drive -> list partition -> No partitions found

I have tried bootrec commands too, I get Element Not found as well no windows installation found

In Linux when I run sudo fdisk -l, I can see the drive where Microsoft files are saved. But I see 3 partitions for EFI.

Kindly suggest help!

Thanks

 

How to boot Linux Mint Cinnamon installed on a new partion?

We have already explained many times but you refuse to understand: - BIOS don't recognize partitions. It does recognize drives and it doesn't care about partitions and / or format types. - Windows has its own Boot Manager. Linux also has its own Boot Manager (Grub). - The BIOS boot options list the boot managers on the computer. You can't see the Linux boot manager because you didn't install Mint. - You first have to install Linux Mint to see it on the BIOS boot options. - You think you did Install Linux Mint but you didn't. - Linux can't be installed on a NTFS partition. You must boot from a Linux Mint USB drive and install it to a unallocated space. How To Dual Boot Linux Mint And Windows 10
