Decided to reinstall old Windows 8.1 on Solus Linux. Partitioned the disk, and started the installation. And in the System Settings tab, the Cannot find a valid bootloader locations (MBR disk) error appears. Although in the markup I specifically created a fat32 partition for the bootloader, and gave it the flags: boot, esp. Also, near this section, an error appears: Unable to read the contents of this file system! Because of this some operations may be unavailable. The cause might be a missing software package. The following list of software packages is required for fat32 file system support: dosftools, mtools.

Do you have a disk exactly GPT marked, what do you think?
