I received an Acer Cloudbook from a family member with mediocre specifications. I thought there might be a way to adapt it for another purpose. It ran sluggishly, so I wanted to run a modified version of Windows. I searched online and chose Mint as my operating system. After completing the download, I transferred the OS onto internal storage. When I accessed the partition menu, I noticed that no root file system was defined. I followed the setup steps, opened the partition menu, attempted to create a partition, but encountered an error message indicating `(null) udisks-error-quark`. I also faced issues formatting the drive and received strange errors. I’m not sure what I did wrong. Help needed!

You can't just save the .iso file and attempt to start it. You must write the .iso onto a USB drive, then launch the installation from that USB to set up the operating system, mirroring the process used for Windows. Detailed steps are available on the Mint documentation: https://linuxmint-installation-guide.rea.../burn.html

Did you remove all previous partitions first? Which format are you aiming for? Ex-FAT? Refer to the previous message for details.

I tried using Belena EtherCAT, attached it to a flash drive, but it only restored the OS to the external drive and didn’t install on the internal storage.

I completely wiped it again and attempted once more, but I haven't tried removing the flash drive and reinstalling it. Also, I used FAT and tried MBR/DOS, which gave the same outcome for both.

You have a bootable USB, but after removing the partitions from the target SSD or HDD, you can't install the OS because the system can't form a root directory.

Linux can run without partitions if you use a single file system, but it may limit flexibility. If you want to create a new partition, ensure your system supports it and follow the appropriate setup steps.

During the setup, you'll encounter a choice about which drive to use for installation. Options typically include automatic partition selection or manual input. You should have a clear method to pick the desired drive, and it shouldn't restrict you from choosing an external one.

All systems require a partition setup. Your storage must be divided and organized into a file system compatible with Linux, such as FAT.

Upon reaching the installation menu, you can select the desired drive, but during the install process it generates a "no root directory" error.
