Elementary 7 installer fails always in customized install #756
Comments
Ditto. Tried 3 different USB devices and burnt from both my eOS6.1 (now bricked) and the OSX I am writing this from... |
I used my existing buildin sdd, did a partition for fat32, and then just booted from this and installed. It worked ,no need for an usb |
Thanks. I installed the ISO from Balena on a completely separate drive and still nothing :( |
Try to formate the drive u using with fat32 not a usb or anything, just a partition on the hard drive and use rufus |
What Happened?
This problem is still there, its always the elementary os installer since its have changed and dont use ubuntu installer,
Its neraly impossible to install. First the drive could not be find, but this get fixed when unplug all drives or usb stuff, and second it just C'ANT install on some computers for whatever reason, i tried raw write to usb, rufus, and last balena etcher... And still its just impossible to install when select customized install so i can choose the drive my self, i dont want to loose any content on that drive so i dont format it.
Never i had a problem on that with other ubuntu installer but this elementary installer feels like its still in alpha. I would love if i could use the ubuntu installer on elementary, that would fix these problems instant.
The fat partition is over 265mb
And i have 16gb ram
The computer i use is an acer predator helios 300
The last succesfull install was in a vm, where i had to use a passtrough for the drive i want to install. And that worked, but native it always fails
Steps to Reproduce
Get iso from elementary os 7.1
Flash iso with balena etcher on windows on a 32gb formated usb drive
Choose customized install and select the drive
Installer starts and fails after 5 seconds
