I have windows 11 on 250gb ssd and a 500gb empty hard drive. I want to install POP!os on one of the partition of this Hard drive and let the windows be on the ssd. So while partitioning space to install linux if I select D drive from my HardDisk and does further partitioning there for linux os then we will get Erase and install option. Now does this option erase all my data from the ssd also? or only from the drive I selected.
If it does delete then what is the other safer option to not delete the ssd data?
Also is this way of partitioning correct or Am I doing anything wrong?

    Safest is to unplug or disable in UEFI settings, your Windows drive. You show bitlocker on, with NTFS partitions. Linux requires a Linux formatted partition often ext4. UEFI install strongly suggests gpt partitioning. Best to have ESP - efi system partition on same drive, some installers default to first drive's ESP often the Windows one. Commented Jun 14 at 14:34
