Welcome aboard!
Open Terminal
cd to that disk
Own that disk!
```
sudo chown $USER:$USER .
```
You can check now with
```
ls -ld
```
should be something like:
```
drwxr-xr-x 5 YOUR_USER YOUR_USER
```
That means it’s writable

Welcome to the forum!

In what state is your system? Is it already running EndeavourOS or something else?
Can you see the disk with a file manager or terminal commands? If so, what do they show?
