Hi there,
I purchased a new pc with Windows 11 installed on SSD partition C: and there was another
partition as D: Using bootable flash driver I successfully installed Trinity Aquarius to D: However, When I reboot, the D: was gone.
What should I do?
PS: I am a simple user. Not well versed on partition issues.

Anyway, afraid of loosing the partition I deleted the the part where Q4OS is supposed to be using easeus software. There are still some missing part of around 35 GB in the volume. Anyway, I know I hastily installed it without thinking much on partition details. I will investigate and learn more about the formatting process and try again later.

You may need to read this doc (Better Install in Live, start from point #3)
https://q4os.org/dqa018.html
You need to tell more detail on how you made the partition in your installation, and how/what you choose and create the partition during Installation.
I see you want to make dual boot alongside with windows 11 right? Rather than use the whole of your drive D, better shrink it to around 40-50gb and use that unallocated space to Install Linux (Q4OS), then your drive D shouldn't messy. In Installation methods better choose manual (the last option), and create the Installation partition there.
You will need at least 3 partition ; / Root (Ext4), Home (Ext4), Boot (fat32). Easier way choose LIVE profiler, the rest you can do it later after done Installation as your personally need.

Thank you for information. I will do that.
Right from the beginning Windows 11 started to bother me with some weird issues. It will not take me long to get back to Q4OS.
