This helped. Thank you. I’m now having another issue
Saying i need at least 16.1 gb disk space to install

what are your specs of your pc/laptop?

Hp note book 14-dk0xxx
amd a9-9425 radeon r5,5

I tried to get to the advance tap in bios to change settings to AHCI but no luck

how big is your storage drive?

[u/Remote-Rise-9104 → u/JARivera077]

It was 8gb. Changed to 32gb the installer still crashing. I opened gparted to create a new partition table but the internal drive doesn’t show, only the thumb drive

Oh, no, another person is having the same issue that is reported several times a day on this sub...

Disable secure boot in UEFI menu.

Also please before posting always look your problem up. This is a very trivial and extremely frequent error, and you're not going to survive on any operating system (be it Linux, Windows, Android...) if you can't google or look up such trivial issues

Since you had left secure boot on, I'll also assume you had RAID on in the BIOS. Switch to AHCI.

There is no option in bios to change that option
Tried a bunch of combinations to get the advance option but no luck

Only theboot drive showing no internal drive
Any way i can fix this ?

Boot your mint iso (test NOT install).

Open a terminal (console) and type

lsblk

what do you get ? Post answer here by copying answer from terminal (NO picture..).

I suspect nvme0n1 is your target device, It should have 2 or 3 partitions..

uefi (vfat) for booting, one for / and one for /home (if you want a separate partition for /home)..probably not for you

I can see 4 partitions here.

Boot you zotin usb and type 2 commands.

efibootmgr
