I bought a new HP Laptop Pavilion 16 series, which had Win 11 Home, I then upgraded it to Win 11 Pro for Workstation as I m testing few stuff for a company.
I read many articles for Dual Boot Win 11 and Ubuntu, and still no complete success as stumbling on Ubuntu could not mount Win-11 drive
In Windows 11, I Turned Off BitLocker, the drive gone through its process and its Turned Off now
Fastboot is off - in Power options
In Laptop BIOS Setup - Secure Boot is Disabled, and also Cleared All Secure Boot Keys
Loaded Ubuntu 22.04 and used "Try Now" - which means its not installed, just trying it.
On loading of Ubuntu, tried accessing the internal and only 1 hard drive (where Windows 11 is installed) but it gives me following error
"Failed to mount "SSD" Error mounting /dev/loop1 at /media/ubuntu/disk: /dev/loop1 already mounted or mount point busy"
Accessing another HD icon (same HD but probably another partition, it throws following error --
"Failed to mount "Windows"
Error mounting /dev/nvme0n1p3 at /media/ubuntu/Windows: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/nvme0n1p3, missing codepage or helper program, or other error"
There is nothing wrong with the Hard drive as I scanned the HD with Windows itself and other utilities - no prob with HD
Could you please advise whats going on and how do I use inbuilt Hard drives's empty space where I stored all my documents etc on Windows "C" drive ?

Hello
If we want to use Linux system, how about trying Linux on Windows with WSL.
If we just want to dual boot Ubuntu with Windows, we may try to ask for help from Ununtu support.
Anyway, the following link may be useful.
