[Ahnelia]

Hello,
after trying to install EndeavourOS Neo multiples times, I end up with the same error each time, and I don’t know how to fix it.

the drive you use to install is on dos scheme not gpt and you try to create efi system imtsall thats your issue.

You try to install dualbooting with a CSM legacy Windows install on MBR drive.
If you do not want to reinstall windows in EFI mode on a gpt drive you will need to boot in CSM legacy Bios mode and install Linux also in the same … you can change USB boot mode to use legacy support and after booting IOS make sure you are on Bios mode by running efibootmgr in a terminal it will show an error that no efi variables are present. With this you need to remove partitions /dev/sda3 and /dev/sda4 and use only one ext4 partition for the install… it will use the MBR to install bootloader with this

You were right, I installed Endeavour with legacy options, and it’s working fine.

Thanks a lot ♪
