  • 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
