Aros (Icaros 2.3.3) installation problem

[Decker]

I have an HP Elitebook 2540P that I don't use for anything right now. Getting a bit slow for Win10 so I Dbanned it and booted Icaros live.

InstallAROS launches a partition dialog, which I filled thusly: IMAGE

Installer then tells me that partitions have been created, please reboot and re-launch installer. I restart, run the installer and select to use existing Aros partitions. Installation runs for a while, then tells me the drive is in an unreadable format.

HDToolbox shows me the following: IMAGE

So the installer created a 7.8Gb partition, and now the partition table is somehow 'unknown'. And after I set it to 'RDB', the toolbox claims success. But the table still remains 'unknown' when I check it again...

Any ideas? I'd believe it's a bad drive, but Windows never gave any grief, checkdisk showed no errors on last check and DBAN finished without errors.

You do not need to use HDToolbox, you have to use only InstallAROS

To Install AROS These are the steps to do:

Premise:

- Use an HD or a RAW (unallocated) partition (no MBR, RDB, etc ..)
- Use PC/Linux program to create RAW partition (unallocated)
- If a partition with Windows is present, it will ignore this partition and use only the RAW one by creating Dual Boot
- If you do not have any RAW partition, AROS will take the first partition or whole HD


Installation:

- Start AROS CD/DVD
- Start InstallAROS
- To choose Wipe Disk (this will initialize allocated Disk or partition if available)
- Reboot
- Start InstallAROS
- To choose Use existing AROS Partition
- If you are not an expert, do not create partitions (DH1, DH2 etc)
- To choose your Device
- Proceed with the installation
