Today we will talk about a problem that can occur when trying to install a fresh copy of Windows operating system .
Windows cannot be installed to this disk or can’t be installed to drive 0 partition 1 can occur for many reasons. You may also get “We Couldn’t Create A New Partition” or “We couldn’t create a new partition or locate an existing one” .
Fixing this issue is easy if you know what you are doing !
So there are a few steps to follow :
1. When the error “Windows cannot be installed to this disk ” appear press the “X” from the right corner to go back to the initial windows installation screen (that with the install button).
2. If you are using a computer press shift + f10 and for a laptop FN + shift + f10
3. A black command prompt window will open
4. You have to type some stuff :
diskpart
list disk (you should see only Disk0)
sel disk 0
clean
Optional: convert gpt or convert mbr command to convert your drive to the desired type.
5. type exit and try again to reinstall windows !
You may also try :
diskpart
list disk (you should see only Disk0)
sel disk 0
clean
CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY.
ACTIVE
FORMAT FS=NTFS QUICK.
ASSIGN.
type exit and try again to reinstall windows !
If this does not work try to have no additional hard drives connected (like USB sticks).
Another thing you can try is to set your SATA controller in BIOS to AHCI or RAID mode .
Also when nothing worked, when we booted first to select device we switched from Legacy to UEFI or vice versa and selected proper boot device !
Good luck !
