Hi,
If the BIOS type is Legacy/BIOS.
If no data is to be kept on disk
Go into GParted and erase all partitions / wipe the disk.
Repartition do MS-DOS / MBR.
Linux Lite 4.x and up (Ubuntu 18.04 and Up) use a Swap File so no swap partition needed.
If installing Linux Lite 3.x needs to create a swap partition SWAP type). I usually create a 2048MB (2G) partition at the end of the disk for this need.
But... not creating partition is OK too, wiping the disk and putting in MS-DOS/MBR works fine, since the installer will create all partitions needed.
Cheers!
NB : If UEFI is needed there is a Linux Lite 4.2 UEFI (upgradable to 4.8) somewhere in the forums.
- 5.x will be UEFI , you can test with 5.0 RC1 but it will not be upgradable to Final release.
