Hello everyone
I am installing Garuda Dragonized on my pc . IDK why I am getting this error regarding the partition.
I have added the picture of my screen.. see it below. In case the image is not clear,this is the error:
Installation failed
The installer failed to create a partition table on data.
Create a new partition table(type: gpt) on '/dev/data'
job: Create new partition table on device '/dev/data'
please help me to fix this

Did you use manual partitioning?
What is /dev/data
?

I don't know what it it. I just created a bootable pendrive to install Garuda and I'm getting this error. I have never created any partition manually.

What are you selecting during the install? Are you choosing erase disk or something else?
yes. I chose Erase disk.. swap (with hibernate)
option . I want to use garuda as my main os

Before you launch the installer, use partition manager or gparted to delete that lvm partition.
can you please tell me step by step of how to do that?
I opened partition manager , and there is a lock at the lvm partition

If it is mounted, right click on it and select unmount.

You must know which place is free/useless/unneeded.

On the left, click on the device called "data" and delete it.
ok.. I deleted "data" and now I don't see that lock on lvm
what I have to do now?

Delete that lvm partition and click "Apply"
Then exit and do the install normally.

Ok I did that and now I will install. what should I choose: erase disk (no swap)
or erase disk (Swap with hibernate)
? and what is the difference between these two?

The first one creates a system without a swapfile. Since garuda uses zram, that is generally what you want unless you are installing on a laptop that you want to have hibernation support on.
