I'm looking to transition from Windows to Linux but need my external hard drive for both bootable Linux and storage for my family photos and videos. I have a WD Elements hard drive and want to utilize a portion (like 100 GB) for my personal files while the rest is dedicated to Linux. Can this setup work? How should I go about doing it?

You can definitely set up your external hard drive this way! A tool like MX Linux offers a straightforward way to create a bootable USB drive where you can allocate space for storage. Just plug in your drive, use the tool to write the Linux ISO, and adjust the storage partition as you wish. If your drive isn't recognized right away, look for an option to bypass USB checks in the advanced settings.
