Dual Boot install issue on GPD Win 4

Ive been trying to get bazzite installed on a separate partition on my Win 4, but it keeps giving me this error when I try creating the /boot/efi partition from the guide. Any suggestions for getting through it?

Issue fixed by creating the partitions with the specified sizes in Windows Partition Manager and just formatting them to what I needed in the blivet installer.
I’m guessing it was some kind of permissions issue on my system that prevented blivet from creating partitions, even though it would let me format them fine.

huh, that's really bizarre. why can you format the already existing partitions, but can't create partitions from free space

thanks for the update though, I would've never ever guessed that was the issue

I had to dig for a while, but another person had the same issue for a different fedora install. This thread tipped me off. Though I guess they said that making the partitions in windows can cause issues. Worked out fine so far though.

Dual boot with Windows 10 installation error

I’m sorry if I explained it incorrectly, but I did it like this (you can see it in the first screenshot in the original post, where the 78.13 GB space is unallocated.)

Very weird bug. do you care if I document it on the gpd-win-tricks repo?

Go ahead. I’m not sure what caused it though.
