Good day, I am providing the following reports... The first one caused a loss of the partition table I believe. This occurred on a external 500GB powered hard drive. Rebooting showed no partitions during the install process. I can't confirm further without repeating it, and the recovery took too much time for me to want to try another attempt. This morning I attempted an install onto a USB. This time resulting in another error. Second timestamped image. Repeating install without reboot resulted in the third image error. Currently performing a fourth attempt at install. This time no manual partitioning. Guided partition with encryption. So far everything is downloading.... we'll see how it goes.... ,Ty
