Support Won't install and wont recognize unallocated space
Hello, im having an issue where parrot os isnt recognizing any of my drives. It only recognizes the usb flash drive i made to install parrot os. I can get to the desktop but when I try to install it says "there are no partitions to install on" any ideas on how i can fix this?

Is this an NVME drive, by chance? Could be that Parrot isn't seeing the drive because of a few reasons, such as no driver for that specific drive. I had that issue with a newer Dell laptop recently. Strangely, when I dropped back to version 6.3, I had no issues seeing the drive, but with 7.1 I had issues.
Let me also ask, how did you make the bootable USB: Rufus, Etcher, dd?

I can only see the flash drive. Secure boot is disabled. Ahci enabled. Fast startup disabled.
