Hi,

I am trying to format my centos 7 and install rocky linux 9.

I got stuck in the partition settings

 ![Rocky-Disk-Part-02](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/rockylinux/original/2X/c/c051dc334d3d4af35f60f7837fbd53847f3ac9ed.jpeg)

This is my first try installing any linux based system. My previous centos was installed by my host. I need a noob help.

this error is coming up even i have biosboot partition already

Thanks

Hi,

Unfortunately the screenshot doesn’t show the settings for the BIOS Boot Partition, so its hard to speculate.

Regards Tom.

It’s OK now.

The host changed the boot method to legacy and all worked out.

Thanks
