I cant create a new partition

Yep
Also just to check my usb being 8 gigabytes doesnt have anything to do with this right?

I donā€™t think so but Iā€™m using larger usb drives. :thinking:

Imma try flashing it on a different usb port and with a different etcher, may fix it ig :person_shrugging:

Sure ā€¦worth a try i guess. Maybe re-download the ISO also just to be sure.

Yeah, it may be a problem since i have had multiple problems with applications not starting on this live boot.

When you run the installer you are selecting replace partition and then selecting the partition on the top image that you want it to install on which is either unallocated or what ever you formatted it to?

oh in the last few attempts i was using the 1st option
to let it make the partition itself

@ricklinux https://termbin.com/owrc Formatted my usb, downloaded the iso from german servers, used ventoy to flash it, gave it 50 gigs and this still happens :confused:

did you create a gpt thumb drive or an mbr?

mbr

you need to make the ventoy disk gpt in order to support the efi boot system. which is what your Windows is on.

mbr is for legacy boot you should switch it to gpt

sudo ventoy -i -g -S (secure boot disabled)
sudo ventoy -i -s (secure boot enabled)

either should give you a gpt disk instead of an mbr

Made it gpt and im still getting the same issue when trying to install

Checksums for the ISO are correct?

Have you tried to shrink the drive in windows leaving the space unallocated. Boot on the live ISO and run the installer selecting replace partition. Select the unallocated space in the first image. ISO needs to be booting in UEFI.

maybe a dumb question but iā€™ll ask

do you have fastboot in Windows disabled?

@Blusome
Do you have secure boot and csm disabled on the laptop?

Yeah my first few tries were with that

Yes my secure boot is off
When I was using Rufus my csm was off and it still didnā€™t work
@thefrog Yes fastboot is off

Are you looking to dual boot with windows or replace windows?

according to this post

so is csm still disabled?
