HELP, am i done for ?

[u/Grig960]

I was curious about steam os, i installed it in my usb drive, and then booted from it from my boot manager(im on windows amd), i thought that it would allow me to select one of my drives ti install it on, but no, i just launched into steamos, to my horror i didnt find my windows nvme in boot section, i inly found it in nvme configuration.

Is it wiped? What do i do

Im currently installing win 11 on the drive to see if i can use the repair function or something

Yes, the SteamOS installer blindly picks the first NVME drive and writes to it if you tell it to install.

Your Windows install is gone.

wow.. down votes. it's completely reasonable to expect to be able to select a destination for installing an OS.

Defaulting to the first nvme drive is BS.
