Hey everyone! I've been experimenting with Linux on my laptop and decided to give it a shot on my main PC, which has two drives: one with Windows 11 and an old drive with Windows 10 that I couldn't erase before. I installed Bazzite on the old drive and chose to use the entire drive, thinking it would only affect that one. After installation, my Windows 11 drive has vanished as a boot option in the BIOS, though I can still access the files on it. Is my Windows drive completely inaccessible, or is it possible to boot into it with some adjustments?

You could also try booting into Linux and running `sudo update-grub`, which might help detect your Windows installation. If you get a command error, the necessary tools may not be installed.
It seems like your Windows bootloader might have been overwritten during the installation. Check out this link I found that might help you restore it! [Link to guide]
Have you tried disconnecting the second drive? Sometimes, just starting the PC without it can help you boot back into Windows.
I dealt with a similar issue while dual-booting recently. I had to use a live boot to fix the GRUB loader and ended up reinstalling Windows in the process. It's a headache, but you might have to resort to that.
If you're looking for more tips, check out the migration page linked in some relevant forums. Just remember to avoid unnecessary installations from third-party sources for safety!
