Yes, you can do this. You’ll need to make an Endless OS USB stick. Here are instructions for Windows, Mac and Linux:

Then boot your computer from the USB stick, choose Reformat, and choose the blank hard disk.
Thank you. I’ll try. If there are problems, can I ask?

Of course, ask away!

This is a known issue but I don’t know the cause yet unfortunately. Can you try zeroing the disk using a tool like Rufus, then trying again? If that doesn’t work, you can download an ISO image from https://support.endlessm.com/hc/en-us/articles/209063006-Where-can-I-download-the-Endless-OS-ISO-image-files-directly- and write it to the USB with Rufus.
