try skipping the media check
very easy to trip it up depending on how you flashed the drive
Sorry for long response time had to go do something at work
Dont think it failing skipping could be bad for its installation? I mean im gonna try but thats mainly why i didnt skip it
Alright here we go lets see what happens if i install after it failed a media test
Cant get bazzite to install im pretty sure its because of the portions it had for some reason dosnt seem to have the boot command stuff if that makes sense?? These things in the screenshot provided. Anyway i tried deleting the partitions BUT IT WONT DO IT!
It keeps saying free space in the bazite boot loader thing. And i tell it to save it. And IT DOSNT KEEP THE STUPID SETTINGS!....
so i tried opening windows and see if i can delete the original partitions and rejoin them together so i can redo the partition steps of arus video on this AND IT WONT LET ME DO IT THERE!.... tried in power shell after looking up a tutorial there and it tells me no because it's says they are in use by the system apparently....
Im so dam agitated by this
Sorry i dont have more pictures
Heres all the extra partitions i want to delete excluding the ones for windows and the 3276 gb one for my storage... and the 54 gb one for windows. And the 31 gb one was where bazzite was at.
The rest i dont know why theres so dam many..
Ill be back in about an hour i really hope i here help from someone and sorry i didnt get more pictures from the bazzite side.
dual boot or single boot?
Dual boot. It fucked up when i tried installing windows 10 on the windows partition. Then i couldn't get the storage partition to show up on windows and i formated that to get windows to recognize it. Then that caused bazzite to somehow not work anymore. Then i had an issue with liegion space not wanting to work anymore right on windows 10 so i put windows 11 back on..... still not having bazite working by the way. I was told i needed to reinstall bazzite apparently for the bazzite side to work again. I was so frustrated by this i gave up for a few weeks... Anyway im at it again. I found a way to get the 2 first partitions made in arus video about it. But the btrfs one im suspecting its supposed to be my storage drive partition im actually using because he said use all the free space leff?
When i tried making a btrfs partition like he said in his video and followed along. I got a message from bazzite saying i dont have enough space..... im.so mad right now.
try to create 50:50 split
the installer somehow only accept that
What do you mean? How i do that without messing up storage drive
Unless you mean spilt something else
If i have to mess that up ill wait i just got fallout london working on that partition on windows 😆 i really dont want to redo all that im not cut out for software lol
Anyway ill continue this tomorrow evening i got home and now i need to get to sleep. Its 6am for me and have things to do tomorrow. This is gonna keep me up into the sunlight 😆
if you have 2 tb drive then allocate 1 tb free space for bazzite
its 50:50, 1tb for windows 1tb for bazzite
I have a 4 tb. My worry is deleting what i already have on the 3.8 tb i have for game storage and other stuff. In my previous setup. I had 50 something allocated for windows. 30 something for bazzite. And the rest of my storage drive was set as a shared main storage drive that worked for installing stuff from both operating systems.
im not sure what to do then, maybe other can help
Dam kay. My next idea is to use a old 2 tb m.2 i have around with nothing on it at all and try doing the whole thing from scratch on that. Then cloning the drive to my 4 tb one so i have the setup that works around. Sounds like alot less headache to me that way personally sense shit dosnt want to work anyway the way it was set. And i can have a backup set if i feel like playing with weird shit again. I may say fuck it and do that so i dont imidiatly loose fallout london. Its not exactly hard to take out my m.2 on my leigion go anyway i guess.
