When making partitions fails (Auto or Manual)

[Scott T]

Messed up the title "Installation fails when making partitions (Auto or Manual).

No matter if I choose erase disk option or manual partition, it fails to create partition.

Had graphic issues the first time I booted but restarted and it booted up into the installer no problem but would not create partitions. I had high hopes and erased on a working manjaro installation.

I don't see this OS being anything other then a more complicated version of steam OS.

PNY SSD is the drive I was trying to use but I doubt it's hardware related.

Sometimes Calamares cannot erase partitions correctly depending on the previous partition structure, If this happens (it is a known issue), use GParted instead and then run the installer again and choose keep in the options rather than erase.
