I tried installing it on a new ssd so to separate window and linux stuff(and also upgrade from a bunch of very old hdd), the guide recommend me to select “something else” and create the partition accordingly. I follow their official guide here
At the time i’m installing, i still have my old drive plugged in so in fear of messed thing up badly and had my whole data erased, i chose to manage the partition myself. Should i unplug everything other than the new drive, and have the installer do it automatically?
Yeah, my plan is to isolate both OS so it doesn’t interact at all. Was thinking about wiping out the old drive after backing up after installing mint, doesn’t seems to work out lol.

This is what I did. Made the installer mostly a bunch of hitting ‘next’.

Yea! If in doubt, unplug every other drive. It’s a good practice.

Go ahead and unplug the drive - having it in doesn’t really help so why not give yourself the peace of mind?
