So I go back to Linux mint and use the Disks gui to format the HDD as GPT, but reinstalling the Windows installation media using WoeUSB-ng converts it back to MBR. "the disk is formatted as MBR and Windows can only be installed on a GPT partitioned disk" Once on there, I see the HDD as one of the disk options, however Windows tells me that: Rebooting my system and entering the BIOS shows UEFI_NTFS as a bootable partition, and booting into it loads the Windows installation media. 1.0 MB W95 FAT16 (LBA) partition named "UEFI_NTFS".1.0 TB NTFS/exFAT/HPFS partition named "NTFS".I used WoeUSB-ng to install the Windows installation media from the ISO to the HDD, and doing that leaves the HDD with 3 partitions, as I see it on the Disks gui:
Linux Mint is installed on the SSD, and I've downloaded the Windows ISO file in my /home directory. The machine is an ASUS laptop and it has 2 disks, an SSD and a 1TB HDD.
I know I can just use a pen drive but that will take a bit of time and I am impatient, so is there any way I can install Windows on my HDD without a pen drive?
