Hey guys, after 2 years since my last attempt (and recently trying fedora on my laptop) Im ready to try again to install it on my desktop. First time I installed Nobara and it nuked my windows boots partition which caused a lot of trouble and trauma (couldnt boot into windows no matter what). Basically I want to accomplish this:

1- I want to install Fedora on a separate drive and keep my windows drive completely intact (Need it for work).
2- Preferably I would like GRUB to ask which boot option I want to use if my linux drive is set to be my boot drive and to boot straight to windows if its my windows drive set to boot.

Can someone please guide me into installing it the safest way possible?

Technically it didnt miss, it installed in the correct drive but still destroyed my windows boot partition. I asked in the nobara disc and they said the program nobara uses to install is bad, so maybe that is why? So I can just install Fedora on my other drive without any worries? Nothing special to keep in mind? Should I use Fedora's tool to create the bootable drive?

EDIT: Btw, this time I wont install with nobara, I will just install fedora KDE

    Yep. Installing on two different drives, make sure you go into your BIOS settings and set the new drive as the first boot target to get you a Grub menu on boot though.
