Need help manually partitioning the USB flash drive I'm installing Q4O

I've been trying to install Q4OS into a flash drive of the size 8 gb, but I don't see the option to 'Erase Disk' as I do with my main hard drive. I can only select to manually partition my USB but I don't know how to.

Any help would be appreciated showing me how to create the partitions, thank you!

Welcome

We would recommend you to completely wipe the target USB drive, remove all the existing partitions, insert it, boot live media and see if the 'Erase Disk' option appears in Calamares.

I have already wiped all the partitions using Rufus.
