    fclose: no space left on device when installing kali linux on laptop

    Hey guys, I'm trying to install Kali Linux on my laptop, and after partitioning it says fclose: no space left on device, though my HDD has 1TB. These are my laptop specs: I3-7100, 4GB RAM, 1TB HDD. I don't know what to do, I'm kinda new to linux so I'm asking for your help. Thank you.

    If you want to install Kali 'bare metal' as the only thing on your 1 TB disk you need to create an EFI partion, not just try and use the whole disk to install kali on, this isn't windows where it hides these things from you.

    You need at least 2 partitions, one of 1GB for EFI formatted to FAT32 and one for kali format it EXT4 if you, you also need to set the correct partition flags to make the partitions bootable.
