I am trying to install POP! OS to my Acer Predator 17 (G9-793). When going to partition my C drive, i noticed that my 240gb C drive was showing up as two 120gb drives. They were showing up as us unallocated, i had to create a new partition table, after that i went to format it and gparted had an error. This was at the end of the log.




set partition type on /dev/sda1 00:00:01 ( SUCCESS )



new partition type: ext4



create new ext4 file system 00:00:00 ( ERROR )



mkfs.ext4 -F -O ^64bit -L '' '/dev/sda1' 00:00:00 ( ERROR )



mke2fs 1.44.1 (24-Mar-2018)
/dev/sda1 is apparently in use by the system; will not make a filesystem here!




How to i go about getting this set up. I am pretty new to linux.

  • Do you want to dual-boot with Windows or have only Pop_OS? For standalone you can right away change the SATA mode, in UEFI, to AHCI (it's probably as "RAID" now). Then disable CSM or make sure you're booting in UEFI mode. Maybe additional steps are necessary.

As per Acer's comments site, you really don't have 240GB. You have a pair of M.2 120GB SSDs. You can create volumes on each, then join them together with LVM, and make an ext4 partition following this article; or, you can use one for /root and one for /home .
