Trouble installing bazzite
I am getting an error during the install process of bazzite. My Windows OS broke on me and even my attempts to clean reinstall Windows failed so I want to switch to bazzite exclusively.
However I keep getting an error message during installation. I tried following this video at about the 6 minute mark and it didn’t help, I kept getting the same error. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=to6FLhn0NOM&t=368s&pp=2AHwApACAQ%3D%3D
My specs are 9800X3D, 7900XTX, ASRock B650I lighting, Crucial T705 (where I want to install bazzite), Silicon Power UD90 (extra storage), Teamgroup TCreate 2x16gb 6000mhz CL30 kit, Corsair SF1000L.

Valve said that Dual boot would be an option on the Steam Deck, but it's been 2 years and there's nothing official yet. Let's set up Bazzite and Windows on a 512GB SSD!

Error message
if you are installing only Bazzite why not just let it auto the full disk? The point you linked to in the video is setting up disks by hand. You can just pick the dirve say and nuke everything
I tried that at first and it gave the same error. I found the video in a reddit thread where someone else had the same error.
https://docs.bazzite.gg/General/Installation_Guide/troubleshoot_guide/ As seen from seraching the error here
Installation Troubleshoot Guide - Bazzite Documentation
Bazzite is a custom image built upon Fedora Atomic Desktops that brings the best of Linux gaming to all of your devices.
there is a guide for fixing it
The odd thing is I just did like 5 reinstalls of different ublue images and never ran into this issue myself. I nuked the disk fully each time so it should have been remaking the efi each time
Each time when I did it, I was removing the partition table also. but I did nothing more than picked the drive and hit done, it poped up with next steps and I just said reclaim all
Turn of secure boot just in case
And I’ve had this issue before I think I would redownload the iso file and use rufus to flash it if it says about updating something when your about to flash it say yes
It did have windows on it before, so that might be the cause but I had secure boot on and it had windows on it before so, PCs are temperamental
Secure boot shouldn’t really be the issue did u turn off bitlocker in windows ?
I think bitlocker is enabled by default with a TPM installed anymore
Yes it is u can disable it
If it is related to SB clearing all keys from the MB might help. but could also just be as this guide there says and the efi is the issue
Bitlocker has reportedly messed things up for some people
Don’t clear the keys I don’t think u can anyway
Re download bazzite and flash it with rufus
I’m pretty sure I had this issue before
And I just redownloaded and reflashed it
I resolved it. I ended up giving up at first and turning the bazzite disc image usb into windows installation media on another computer.
Then I followed retro game corps dual boot tutorial and now I’m dual booted.
