I'm unfamiliar with the XFCE spin, but you may be striking this problem: The installer wants to make use of unused space, and your (gparted) created partition isn't considered to be free space. You could go back to gparted, and remove your partitions, making it a blank drive. You can explore your XFCE installer options, to remove all partitions on a drive, and start from square one. With other spins, you can do this relatively painlessly. If you don't go with automatic settings, you just have to think carefully about what size partitions you want to use, and the kind of partitions. The other way to use a pre-formatted drive, is to go pick your pre-made partitions as the *mount* points for the install to use. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1062.4.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Oct 18 17:15:30 UTC 2019 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
