I'm currently trying to set up a dual boot system with Ubuntu and Windows, but I'm running into a problem. My Windows installation can't seem to find the disk, even though I have some free unallocated space available. I'm using Ubuntu on my machine which has 8GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD, an Intel i5 (12th Gen), and an RTX 2050 graphics card. What steps should I take to resolve this issue?

From what you've described, it seems like you might be having trouble because Windows doesn’t recognize Linux file systems. This often happens if you're trying to install Windows as a second OS after already having Ubuntu set up. Ideally, it’s recommended to install Windows first and then Ubuntu, as Linux can recognize Windows partitions just fine. Otherwise, if Windows is installed, it may overwrite the boot loader, which is a hassle. Have you thought about reordering the installation?
Oh, I didn’t know that! Thanks for clarifying!
