Error installing grub in dual boot: windows10 + Garuda

hi

i've tried to install garuda after windows 10 but I received an error:

"error installing grub: btrfs not allowing blocklist"

any suggestion would be great!

Hi there, welcome to forums.

Try turning off secure boot, if not already

Either:

Install the bootloader to the drive, not to a partition.

Or:

Boot and install in UEFI mode when using a GPT partition table.
