  • Today, with Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS, a partition labeled 'writable' might be mounted, and you don't want that. So boot with the boot options `toram` and `nopersistent` to avoid that, and then you can unmount also that partition. Maybe you want to keep the live system. Then you can put the installed system into the partition labeled 'writable'. – sudodus Sep 11 '22 at 15:27
  • If UEFI system for UEFI boot, you must partition in advance & use gpt. If UEFI, you can create a 5 or 6GB FAT32 partition as ESP for install & extract ISO into it for booting. I would create a smaller ESP for booting once installed. Note that Ubquity installer will only install boot files to first drive, normally your internal drive. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1396379 Work arounds in report & https://askubuntu.com/questions/1296065/dual-booting-w10-ubuntu-with-2-separate-ssds-in-uefi-mode/1296153#1296153 – oldfred Sep 11 '22 at 16:14
