How to create a new partition table with Parted Magic
- Attention: This will also wipe the Windows partition.
- In the Partition Editor program the correct disk must be selected. For LWP this is the first disk, /dev/sda or /dev/nvme0n1. GParted automatically selects the first device from its list of detected devices. Use the drop-down list from the toolbar to choose the appropriate device drive if it is not the default selection.
- Next open the Device menu options and select Creat partition table....
- From the "Select new partition table type" drop-down list, select gpt and click Apply.
That's it, your entire disk has been wiped and a new partition table created. Now start a normal installation.
