On a brand new SSD I think they will work fine but not everyone has a brand new SSD
On step 7

In the applications, search and open Disks and start restoring the HAOS image:
In Disks, on the left side, select the internal disk device you want to install HAOS onto.
On top of the screen, select the three dots menu and select Restore Disk Image….

you get some strange errors about disk in use or access denied the issue is not that I picked install instead of try or the swap disk

I tried to stream installing Home assistant on Sunday

You can see the issue here - https://www.youtube.com/live/TKVhcjyTNDE?si=L_YvU3dXhJbkbi8l&t=6415
and before and after there I tried 5 or 6 times 😉

You can't format the disk - tried that

The solution is to run

sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=64M status=progress

changing sda as necessary

this is a video of me doing the fix

It may be worth adding that command if the disk isn't one part ion
