@sohail So you removed
and created a new partition on the same position? Or just reformatted it?
That is a bit strange… I see no real problem.
@megavolt
when I try to create partition its give me The Error
When installing i use the manually Installation to create two partition
7 228GB 229GB 537MB logical ext4 boot
8 229GB 320GB 90.9GB logical ext4
but i throw the Above error
I use Gparted to create the partition and reformat it but after the installation was finished my system Wont boot so i use the usb to boot my laptop Manjaro was installed but the disk was unmounted
What does this mean? Do you see the grub menu at boot?
take a look it the picture manjaro is installed in this partition but the partition is not mounted
right now i am chating to with from the live usb and without usd i wont boot up

this is what happen if i try to start my laptop with out live
usb
yeah i understand that. So before you had sda1 as boot partition which is primary and root is at sda7 which a logical one. Now you want to have all in one partition at sda7, right?
The reason why it don’t boot, could be that the MBR is not written correctly or your BIOS did not support booting from a logical partition or the boot flag is not set, or you did not set the correct mountpoint.
Did you check the boot priority at your BIOS?
However… much less hassle would using a GPT Partition Table and using a bios_grub partition of 2MB at the beginning. Then if needed a boot partition and then a root partition. But downside is, you have ot wipe the whole drive and make a backup.
i dont understan bios that much this is my bios boot order
after the first black screen a few second later i get this screen
Did you install the MBR on /dev/sda or on /dev/sda7 ? It must be at your setup on /dev/sda.
Are you able to manjaro-chroot into your system from a live ISO?
If yes, I would try to restore the bootloader into the MBR (within chroot environment):
grub-install --force --target=i386-pc --recheck --boot-directory=/boot /dev/sda
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
exit
exit
and reboot.
@Wollie @megavolt

Step 1
Choose Manual partitioning
Step 2
Default Partition
Step 3
Createing Bootable Partition
Create root Partition

@sohail Do you get the same error when you delete /dev/sda7 first and then create boot and root?
@sohail, have you booted the live ISO USB stick in BIOS or UEFI mode?
For a BIOS installation no /boot partition is needed by the way, also all the flags are obsolete.
@megavolt Yes i get the same error
@Wollie I have booted to iso in legacy Bios MBR
i think the is the problum with installer before the on 20.2 version i installed manjaro and everthing are fine
@megavolt @Wollie
I have tried manjaro 20.2 but still, end up with the same error I have Install Ubuntu and IWork Perfectly
I notice one thing though when I was burning ubuntu to USB all of these options were enabled but when I try to burn manjaro these option are disabled take a look at the image I am using rufus
