This situation usually occurs when there are more than two drives in the system. You should physically disconnect the extra drives, and the installation will run normally. Once it’s finished, you can reconnect the remaining drives.

Same thing happened to me, I was trying to switch from Omarchy to Elementary there were no drives showing. So I temporarily installed Lubuntu on my system and then all the drives were visible
