This is also happens in 6.1 and also have another ticket from August 21. https://github.com/elementary/installer/issues/617
Happens to me also in Lenovo ideapad 520S with 2 drives one nvme and one ssd.
Currently im unable to install elementary 6.1 on dual boot.
It happened to me in 6.1. I tried to install it a week ago, I couldn't see partitions either. Weird thing is, GParted showed. It can also change partitions too. My device: Lenovo IdeaPad 330 and only HDD.
Currently im unable to install elementary 6.1 on dual boot.
me too.
Happening to me to on a Lenovo Yoga with a 4TB WD HDD externally. The drive is recognized and (I think) properly configured through the included GParted manager, but It hangs on "Getting the current configuration" for a while before showing a blank menu with the continue button greyed out. It's my first time trying out elementary, and I'd love to be able to dual boot on this external drive!

I had a similar issue when setting up a dual boot with Windows 10, and the issue was mounting the partitions in rw mode
remount didn't work so here is what i did that worked
1- Make sure you are booting in UEFI mode if your windows was installed in UEFI (grub installation would otherwise fail at the last step)
2- Use the demo mode and run ntfsfix on all ntfs partitions
3- open gparted (from applications menu) and make your partitions (/ , swap & boot)
4- create a new folder in / (this will be on your elementary OS usb drive) and name it drive
5- run lsblk and note down your partitions for the drive you are installing os on. ( /sda1 /sda2)
repeat the steps 6-12 for all your partitions
6- umount /dev/your_partition
7- mount -o rw /dev/your_partition /drive
8- chmod 777 /drive
9- touch /drive/test.txt (just to test the drive is mounted in rw)
10- umount /dev/your_partition
11- open file explorer and open the partition from storage section (this will mount the drive in rw mode in /media)
12- delete test.txt
open the installer from the applications menu and install
