    I don't see a created partition in BIOS/UEFI
    « on: June 07, 2023, 12:00:26 AM »
    Hi!
    I have created a partition of FAT32 20 GB on my HDD. I was going to install an android-x86 on that. But when I go to BIOS or UEFI there's no such a partition there   It's not visible.
    What I'm doing wrong or what have I done wrong?

    Windows 11 Pro 64 bit

    Individual drive partitions are not shown in bios only complete media devices.
    if you want to run android on a windows 11 computer i would recommend running in a virtual machine.
    Or run  Windows Subsystem for Android as shown here https://www.androidauthority.com/how-to-run-android-apps-on-windows-11-3048569/
