I tried to flash a Linux ISO onto that drive with balenaEtcher which I have done with countless USB drives, and for some reason I get an error when trying to boot into the drive. Do I need to use the USB Live boot version? Thanks

There might be some bootloader shenanigans required. Like putting GRUB on the internal drive, then installing Windows, then putting Linux on the external drive.
