Hey everyone! I used to have Windows 11 on my computer, but I decided to switch to Ubuntu. Now, I'm trying to reinstall Windows 11, but I've run into a problem during the installation process. I can't see all my partitions when I boot up from the Windows 11 ISO. I've been struggling with this issue for about 7 hours now and could really use some guidance. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

I faced something similar once. My fix was to go into the BIOS settings and disable RAID. After that, I could see the drive just fine. If you still can't see the partitions, you may want to delete all partitions and create a new one.
Have you checked how many internal drives you have? Sometimes, having multiple drives can affect what you see during installation.
If you're okay with adjusting your partition setup, you might need to use gparted to shrink your ext4 partition and free up some space for Windows. Just make sure to back up your data first! Alternatively, you could go for a virtual installation using something like Oracle VirtualBox.
Interesting tip! I'll try disabling RAID if I run into the same issue. Thanks for the heads up!
