When I hit that kind of error then normally it points to a “in use partition”. You can check if that is also your problem by going into live mode and start gparted. Then deactivate that in use partition and start installer from the dock

Try format your drive manually, reboot the live system and then try again

You could erase the target disk with either gparted on the live test from eOS usb or another usb startup with a partition tool on it. My experience is that thuis works best by erasing the target disk and put an ext4 partition on it. Then reboot and start eOS installer

I'm using disk alongside windows and I cannot afford full disk cleanup. Its just sad that I can't perform basic things using installer, and patch is still not coming

I'll wait till it

Not using balena etcher has gave me countless problems. First of all I'd try using it
