'Device is active' installation error

Hello,

I am trying to install Bazzite on my ROG Ally. I decided to completely overwrite my Windows partitions and so I have chosen "Delete all" in the reclaim window of the Storage Configuration.

However, after starting the installation I am immediately getting a "Device is active" error and the whole process exits. Even worse, it seems that the installer managed to overwrite the Windows MBR so I now cannot boot into Windows either. I tried multiple times and I always get the "Device is active" error.

Any suggestions or tips on how to solve this would be greatly appreciated.
Solution
I managed to solve this by booting GParted from a pendrive and removing the Bitlocker and two Windows partitions. Now the installer works fine. I have no idea how this happened though :thinking:
