Installing Garuda KDE Dr460nized

I am trying to install Garuda from live session. I get as far as the partition ( am doing this manually) I formatted the partition and tried to install and received a message saying Garuda needs a Fat32 Partition, EFI boot and boot flag and that I need to return to set this up on the Partition. When I try this the Next button is greyed out, so I can not proceed.
Could someone give some advice. I am confused.
Thank you,
Steve

Welcome spnoe :wave:

Have you read and are following

There are linked videos to help. I used Calamares and it worked faultlessly - is there a particular reason you prefer manual partitioning and install?

If you have a problem, please make your own thread and not hijack another. :slightly_smiling_face:

Then you get individual attention.

Your problem may be different to that of the OP, diluting the effects of helpers.

The installer is telling you that you also need:

You need an EFI partition for the EFI boot files. Example as linked from the Garuda wiki page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Partitioning#UEFI/GPT_layout_example

Thank you for your advice. I found the problem was in the BIOS. I needed to change the settings to UEFI only, then I was able to install.
Thanks
