Ugh, that sounds like a pain. My current drive set up is:
#3 is blank so I was just going to install linux there, but also I have ~1.8TB worth of games installed from windows onto #4 that I'd rather not have to try to also install onto #3 and keep them separate. Installing dupes on #4 is equally bad, so of the two I think I'll go wtih just installing games for linux on #3. Thanks for the advice.
Be careful dual booting off a single partitioned drive ive heard windows likes to fuck with linux installs boot files overwriting them on win updates. Might just be best to put linux and its games on #3
I don't have room on #1 or #2 to install linux, so it has to go on 3/4, and I'd much rather it be on its own drive, I can just create a second partition for the games if single-partition is a problem.
