Thanks for the guide! You saved me a ton of stress. The only difference for me was that the volume label was ESP and not System, but when I changed that during formatting it worked fine.
Excellent. I'm very happy this video worked for you too. I also thank you for the tip about ESP versus SYSTEM for the volume label. I guess it does make sense since the ESP stands for EFI System Partition. It's interesting to see how the different installers for Windows named them differently for my video rather than your PC.

Hi, at 15:28 when to “Enter current volume label for drive S:” when i type System it says an incorrect volume label was entered for this drive, what should i write in instead?
When you do a dir while inside of S:, what does it say on the first line. That would say Volume in drive S is ______. That may be what you need or you may need all caps. Let me know.

@@shockwave994 installing windows would not delete your files. Look at the c drive. You may have old user directory or a windows.old directory. Did you specifically tell the installation to erase your whole hard drive?
That erases the part of your computer that has your boot info. It is not your data. The goal is to understand that your hard drive has multiple parts or partitions. One has the data and the others help it boot. When in doubt, ask someone technical for help. If you are in the proper location and type in dir, that will show you what is on that drive. If you happened to pick the wrong one, you may delete your data so make sure to be careful. If you follow my video exactly, you lose no data. The whole video shows you that. If you make a mistake and erase the wrong partition, then you could lose your data. Always backup your info.

Is there a way to reset the command prompt I messed up and now when I try to assign a letter it says the specified drive letter is not to free to be assigned
If it’s not free then it may be another drive with data or it mapped per your commands. You could just pick another letter. Or, if you reboot and start the process over, you should be able to get over that part. Before doing anything, you can see what is on the drive by something like this (use the letter you used): S: dir (Use enter after each line).
Just to clarify, do you have multiple hard drives in your computer or just one? My worry is that if you have 2 hard drives or more, you are in the wrong one.
It is very odd to only see one partition. You may have an older pc with mbr boot. Try these commands in a command line. Do not do any commands that erase anything. This will scan your disk to see if it can be repaired if it has bad sectors. It could be also failing: chkdsk c: /R You can run that chkdsk command multiple times to make sure it sees no issues. You can also run these: bootrec /scanos bootrec /fixmbr bootrec /fixboot bootrec /rebuildbcd This will also attempt to repair windows if those fail: sfc /scannow
Is it okey to do only part from Command Prompt, or 2 steps before are nissesary? And what we do in Command Promt? "Format" means that we are going to delete Windows from disk?
You have to be careful since you can easily lose your data if you don’t have it backed up. You would have to use the dvd or usb so you can have access to the files. Also, the format command is only for a portion of the disk that does not run windows but for the part that tells the computer how to find where windows is. If you format the wrong part, you will erase your whole computer so be very careful.
Well, it may not be best. The goal would be to fix it with Windows 7 media and follow the steps (maybe). The boot method may not be uefi for windows 7. It could be mbr. If you have your data backed up, you can just format the computer and try windows 10. But if you need your data, then I don’t know if you should just go to 10 and install it. Your pc may also not be able to run Win 10. What model is it.
@@techextranetit's an Aspire 5252-V916, it also has a product key at the back for Windows 7 Home. You're right man, I think it's better to just use the windows 7 os again, do you have links or steps that I could follow to fix this error using windows 7 installation media?
@@glenndalezuniga3235 Do you need any data off the pc? That machine seems very old. It may be time to look into a replacement. Best thing to do is to look to see if you have windows 7 media. If not, you can check for it from Acer. If not, you may be stuck. If you have no data on the pc and you are ok with erasing it, then you can maybe try Windows 10 on it.
I wouldn’t even mind resetting my windows because most of stuff that I care for was on another drive, but I seemingly can’t do that either because of another error that happens

Thanks! from Peru.
Sigh, I did each step. Went to “exit” at the last step, turned off PC. Booted back up and it didn’t work. I’m stumped. And tired. lol.
Update: went back in and selected load from USB. it worked?!! I’m confused. Restarting to see if it was a fluke or not Lol
So it only works when I load on the recovery screen, “boot from USB”. It won’t start up on its own.
It only boots if you boot from usb? You have any usb connected?
@@techextranet I just have the usb connected yeah.
Can you see the files that exist on your pc or no? If you can, it would best to backup your data right away.
11:00 For me it only shows up 1 partition, the "primary" one. There is no system partition? Help please
Just to clarify, do you have multiple hard drives in your computer or just one? My worry is that if you have 2 hard drives or more, you are in the wrong one.
@@techextranetI had the same issue. I only have one SSD Hard drive in the laptop

System type is not showing
Where do you mean? What time stamp in the video are you at where you have issues?
Is it normal for formatting to take so long?
The drive you format is very small. So it should be fast. You could be deleting the wrong partition or your disk may be failing.
I got "failure when attempting to copy boot files"
At what exact time in the video do you get this error?
I have a windows 7 computer and got this exact error code, can I just go aheaad and install the windows 10 installation media?
