  • There was not an option to autopartition the drive you picked? Having to manually make efi partition sounds suspect to me.

    The only thing you should need is to be able to identify what is a partition and what is a drive. Then pick the drive you want. Then the wizard should ask if you wanna wipe it and autopartition it.

    Regarding the ‘logical partition’ stuff: Unless you are using a legacy bios system, rather than UEFI, you can change the drives partitioning scheme to GPT instead of MBR, before partitioning it. Then you should not be dealing with logical partitions any more. Then everything will just be called partition.

    You can do that from inside windows or from a bootable linux stick.

    Who knows why your drive is set to use MBR. Maybe your drive was used in an old computer or windows set it for compatability reasons.
