I using Yumi to install centos or manjaro from usb, after choosing create, a message appears as enter image description here

How do I know whether 4th partition label already exist or not?

If 4th partition label doesn't exist, is that ok if I accept the require of Yumi to create a 4th partition table?

If 4th partition label exist, is that ok to overwritten it as require of Yumi?

This message does not happen when I use Yumi to install ubuntu, linux mint from usb; and I use Yumi in Windows 7.

  • Just to make it clear: the message is confusing, there is no such thing as "4th partition table". In MBR there is one and only partition table. In GPT there are two: primary and secondary (backup). The message should say "4th partition table entry", i.e. the 4th entry in the table. Besides Windows (usually) assigns letters to partitions, not to devices, so talking about partitions or partition table(s) on G: is a misuse. But this is probably because most Windows users are familiar with G:, unfamiliar with \\?\Device\Harddisk1.

  • I have the same issue with the latest legacy YUMI v2.0.6.5. This also happens on Windows 10 64 bit, so I guess it's not because of the Windows version. It must be syslinux and/or BIOS/UEFI related, but I have no proof yet.

  • @ydhhat Did you use Rufus before on that USB drive? I did it.

In my case the solution was to download the latest UEFI version of YUMI and create the installer USB using that.

At the time of writing, the latest installer was YUMI-UEFI-0.0.1.5

It seems that Manjaro has been made for modern UEFI capable hardware.

Please note that the installer threw some syslinux related error messages if I turned off the CSM mode, but it continued the installation process. Nevertheless, I've turned CSM on and the error message didn't show up after restarting the installation this way.

I know that a lot depends on the hardware, please don't follow my advice blindly, do experiment and use the best configuration that you can find.

Further tips for the installation

  1. enable UEFI-CSM in your BIOS/UEFI
  2. disable secure boot in your BIOS/UEFI
  3. be careful with non-free drivers during install, it caused the installer to hang after discovering the audio device
  4. default user and password is manjaro

Good luck!
