Additional information
No response
I cannot reproduce this, installation works for me regardless of whether the external drive is already formatted or not.
The current setup script should give a somewhat more meaningful error message, so maybe try again.
If it still fails, and you can ssh into the Pi, please run lsblk /dev/sda and paste its output here.
