What file system type did you select for your partitions? Also, what kind of partitioning did you choose (guided, etc.)? BTW, note that, for Guix System, doing a “fresh install” doesn’t buy you much in the sense that ‘guix system reconfigure’ amounts to doing a “fresh install”: the result is the same.

I don't remember but I always choose ext4 for linux install. so i presume it was ext4 Also, what > kind of partitioning did you choose (guided, etc.)? guided whole disk without seprate home folder gpt It asked me to have at least one partition with the / mount and when I put it it just did not recognize the / I had problem afterwards when needed to recover the MacosX - the recovery did not recognize the disk. MacOS offers a Disk Utility so i fiddled around with somethings there and finally managed to make the disk seen and re installed MacOSX > > BTW, note that, for Guix System, doing a “fresh install” doesn’t buy you > much in the sense that ‘guix system reconfigure’ amounts to doing a > “fresh install”: the result is the same.

This time I wanted it on a Librem 13" [instead of Macbook Air][so i can enjoy the libre wifi] I wanted to have Guix installed next to my already installed Linux Mint. So I created usb live Guix os I booted into the usb Got to the bit when it asks about Partitioning method choose the Manual, created two partitions 1 50.00GB ext4 / 70.00GB Free space When i was about to continue Format disk? it said we are about to format your hard disk. All its data will be lost Do you wish to continue? I promptly clicked exit then the installation menu window appeared and i clicked Abort it took me to local language window where again i clicked exit so this cycle of going form one menu to another Locale language window -> click exit -> installation menu window -> click Abort -> Local language -> click exit -> locale language menu window->click exit -> abort ad infinitum so I did the only thing I could and that was switching the machine of form the power button. Now I want to boot back to my Linux Mint and the system is stuck it says Booting from Hard Disk... And nothing happens When I then boot again to the live usb stick with Guix on it - the previous partitioning is till there available as if nothing has happened. This sounds strange to me. And of course now I cannot boot to my machine. Not good. [not the end of the world as well because i have a back up and another live usb with linux mint on it and it boots fine] Sherab Just like an experience in a dream Everything I now enjoy Will become a mere recollection For what has past will not be seen again Sent from ProtonMail, encrypted email based in Switzerland.

You can see that on the left under Devices there is a 50 GB - which is the same amount of GB i allocated a partition yesterday. So might it be the partition I created? if it is then this is weird because I aborted the process before I finished creating the partition. There is also n Error message - which i do not understand. Maybe you will. I hope this actually helps improve Guix in one way or another.
