Beautifully done. Leaving tags here so people can find this video for MULTIPLE problems this fixed: "Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition" "We couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one." "MBR2GPT Disk layout validation failed" "ASRock B650 PG doesn't recognize old ssd as a boot option" "BIOS/PC not detecting M.2 SSD" Once again, I thank you very much. Bless your days.
Seriously thank you for the tutorial.... It took me a couple of tries so I want to clarify what helped me in case I can help anyone else: 1) as many comments point out, after "clean" , type another command "convert gpt". The next step "active" won't work but you can skip it. 2) My partition at 8000 was too small, 15000 worked. 3) at the xcopy step, "xcopy e: c:/e/h/k " The first letter is the usb or dvd that you are booting the files from (e), and (c) is the partition you want to move them to. But if the drive where you are booting from is a different letter, like F, do "xcopy f: c:/e/h/k". Do not replace the second 'e' with f as well. the second e means something different lol. 4) after you create the partition and copy the files there, restart the computer and REMOVE YOUR USB OR DVD DEVICE. Then try again to finally install in the partition with the unallocated space. When I tried to do it without removing the usb, it was telling me I couldn't use that partition.
For anyone on a older system you might have to convert the SSD to gpt by the following you need to convert SSD to GPT via CMD during Windows installation, you need to use the Windows installation CD: 1. Boot your computer from the Windows installation CD. 2. At the Windows setup window, press the Shift+F10 key combination to launch Command Prompt Window. 3. At the CMD window, input the above commands: diskpart->list disk->select disk#->clean->convert gpt. These steps can apply to converting boot disk to GPT, but the "clean" command will erase the system and you will need an OS reinstallation. Besides, you can follow the steps to convert the disk to GPT without an operating system.
Omgggg your a absolute legend for this thank you so much I wish he said this in the video as I was so confused but then found your comment which has just fixed my problem 👌🙏🙏🙏🙏
So thankful for this. I spent all day trying to get Win10 installed on my new PC build, only to be stymied at every turn by the USB installer's refusal to play with my M.2 NVME drive. This was the solution! Thank you! Note: I did need to run the "convert GPT" command after the "clean" command to change drive from MBR to GPT. Also upsized the partition from 5 to 8gb for safe measure.
I also had to convert the drive to GPT, then existed cmd prompt, back to windows installation option, formated the drive, then I was able to continue with the installation via a USB drive.
Your knowledge is supreme. I've deployed Windows on hundreds of machines, but had not encountered this particular issue before. I was dead in the water, until I encountered your 5 minute video. Thank you a million times.
This only happens when using a usb 3.0 thumb drive with Win 7. Switching to a usb 2.0 thumb drive and the issue goes away. Only happens with Vista and Win 7 in my experience.
I can't thank you enough for this simple and clear step-by-step tutorial. I was pulling out what little hair I had left until I found your video. You have a new fan and follower today. Have a great day ahead with much happiness.
Going through this process made me realize that I messed up my bootloader in BIOS. That probably was causing the W10 setup to fail. Either way, this way worked and I'm super grateful!
Hello. This video make things more complicated. You just acess laptop BIOS and change boot order, set the drive that you want to install windows to first boot device. Have done!
Definitely a solid video. All i needed to do was convert the drive (m.2 NVME) to GPT. I didn't need to do any other steps. You do that by completing the following commands in CMD: 1) Shift + F10 (gets you to CMD) 2) diskpart 3) list disk 4) select disk (select drive here you want to convert) 5) clean 6) convert GPT Done! You may need to refresh so installation see the changes but this worked for me in less than 2 minutes. Great video!
Bro just saved my life. When I say I've been trying to get this to install for 6 hours after the other hard drive completely failed, I was ready to pull my hair out.
Hello. This video make things more complicated. You just acess laptop BIOS and change boot order, set the drive that you want to install windows to first boot device. Have done!
THANK YOU! I fought with an SSD for a full day before attending this route, and it was 95% effective! Only thing I had to do different was to convert the disk from MBR to GPT after cleaning it and BEFORE creating the partition to copy the install files. Your tutorial was absolutely the smoothest part of this whole process haha thank you again!!
What do I do if I didn't know I needed to convert to gpt BEFORE making the partition? I'm worried this video has made my problem worse and I can't install onto this drive now because MBR.
Im very confused. My installation errors out with "windows cant be installed, disk is gpt partition" if I do the gpt fix, but if I leave it mbr it keeps the same error of "setup was unable to create new system partition ", idk how to move forward! Edit: fixed by unplugging the second hard drive I had. Suddenly none of these errors persisted and the install was successful
Peeps! At 3:08 of the video... DON'T make the mistake of replacing the 'e' in e/h/k bit of 'xcopy e: c:/e/h/k' with a different letter. I (like others here) saw that my OWN dvd drive was not named as E (but rather D)... So I figured ''Ohh ok, so for this line here, I just have to replace ANY instance of 'E' with 'D''.... Which is true, EXCEPT for the e/h/k bit! So lets say your DVD / USB is labled as Z.... You could write... xcopy z: c:/e/h/k Hope that helps! It won't copy across all the files otherwise! If you caught this and need to start over.... Just literally repeat the process of this video from the start again and you'll be ok :)
Thank you! this worked for me. Thanks to commenters for pointing out that after step 5, I needed to "convert gpt" to avoid a later error message, and that once converted to GPT, step 9 "active" no longer applies. Also, for anyone who gets thrown like I did by different drive letters in xcopy: the first letter is the source drive, the second letter is the destination drive, and the next three letters are all parameters for xcopy. In other words, change the first two letters to match your actual drive letters, but leave the last three letters alone.
To be more clear: “step 5” is after the ‘clean’ step. Type “convert gpt” (without quotations) AFTER the clean step is completed, and it should convert. Then continue video from there.
yeah after 6 hours i got to this video only to use up another 3 hours to get to this comment. its going smoothly now. everytime i go to install windows 10 on a computer, i get a days work of problems. the good news is years of microsofting has taught me how to pirate software. you injected your own tail with the venom, Bill
You saved me a lot of time. After wasting three full days and not achieving anything, this simple and clear tutorial let me do it in a few minutes. I'm impressed!
@@neil5010 FYI after you do the 'clean' command run 'convert gpt' and it should convert the drive to GPT which will allow it to work when you go to select it in the installer.
i cannot explain the amount of pure relief this video has given me with installing a clean windows 11 on my new computer. literal tears streaming down my face thank you so much.
I have watched at least 15 videos claiming to help you through this error and all failed. This one took it step by step, no fluff. Unreal how good this is. Thanks for making this video.
I was about ready to punch my monitor in frustration, typical bloody windows releasing an update that breaks more than it fixes. You're a life saver Miguel, and a monitor saver!
Thanks for this. Some tips for 2021: - you may have to make your partition bigger cuz Windows has gotten bigger - if you get the error "windows cannot install required files. make sure all files required for installation are available", then don't unplug your original install media. Windows can still use that to install on the Unused partition.
If you use UEFI boot, add "convert gpt" after the "clean" command, and omit the "active" command at the end of the sequence. Otherwise Windows will refuse to install on a MBR disk with the UEFI boot
PSA: When assigning a size for your partition, DO NOT make the partition any larger than 20GB. This partition is only going to hold the install files, so it doesn't need to be any larger than 20GB. I made this partition 900GB the first time around and had to repeat the process.
After the successful installation of OS, can I delete the partition used to hold the installation files? I made it 20gb and too big for the windows 7 installation files
Man, you saved my life! Spent all day trying to restore my computer with no success. Tried again tonight with your tutorial, and BAM! it works ! One important note though : at 3:52 clicking next will prompt you an error (well, it did in my case) about the partition being in MDR instead of GPT. For those having the same issue, at 1:28 just after entering the "clean" command and then hitting Enter, before going to the next command type "convert GPT" and hit Enter. And you're good to go and follow the rest of the tuto! Peace!
Do not do the xcopy part here are the proper steps Diskpart List disk Select disk x Clean Convert gpt Create partition primary size=15000 Format fs=ntfs quick Assign Then exit and restart select the unallocated space and wallah
Dude - this SAVED me. My boot drive died and I got stuck in a "Preparing Automatic Repair" loop and NONE of the "solutions" were working. Even installing a new windows on a different drive wasn't working the way it was supposed to. I had to use this solution by going into the command prompt and forcing a partition that way. What a nightmare it was until I found this video after 5 hours of troubleshooting. As others mentioned in the comments, I also had to convert the MBR drive to a GPT, which was easy (found another video explaining it). Thank you sir! Subscribed and liked! I work from home, so I HAD to get this fixed asap. You're my hero.
I cant thank you enough for your simple yet effective tutorials. Literally with every error I encountered, I watched your videos and they all helped PERFECTLY. Once again, thank you!
When I select the Unallocated space it says The drive has an MBR partition table and that Windows can only be installed to GPT disks FIXED: after you do the 'clean' command at the start, type: 'convert gpt' and it fixes the future issue :)
This comment needs more upvotes. I got pretty annoyed when I was going through the process and it told me it was MBR now. (I had already swapped this drive to GPT, but it still didn't want to play nice.) So. Thank you for that. Worked beautifully.
@@dkb2375 I'm confident that you've resolved this by now, but to hopefully help anyone else who comes across this; once you have it set to gpt, you can skip that step and it'll work just fine.
Very well done guide.. Saves the day! Applicable to windows 10 installation specially when you encounter the error of being unable to install windows on a MBR disk. This guy is a champion!
You saved my life!! I was reformatting and reinstalling my computer and I could just get past this error, searched everywhere online and none of them worked except yours, thank you so much!
This tuto was insane ! In my case after installation, it reboots in loop in the partition were installation files were installed. I just removed that partition and it boots on the right one. Later on windows I concat the 2 partitions with diskmanager to avoid to have an "empty and unused partition" on the disk. Thx a lot for this dude !
I had a similar issue and got stuck in the reboot loop where the install files were installed. Thanks for posting about just deleting the data from the original partition!
I would have killed my pc if i didnt find this youtuber ...my life was full of troubles but this youtuber ...he changed my life now i love my pc....and just salute to this great youtuber...
@@Aurafam- Can take a while and mine paused a few times during the process. Don't be tempted to abandon it, just leave it alone for 15 minutes and give it a chance to pick up again.
Oh my GOD, I spent HOURS going through everybody else's solutions to this problem. Bless you, sir! I finally got windows to install using your instructions.
Coming from.the future , 7 years later , after multiple problems trying to install win 10 onto an older desktop , this was the only solution that worked. Thank you !
I bought my friend an ssd for his birthday and we spent 6 hours trying to install windows on it because of not having the correct usb drivers, after mounting them to the installation folder we got the error seen in the vid, finally because of you we got it to work! Thank you !!!
Hello. This video make things more complicated. You just acess laptop BIOS and change boot order, set the drive that you want to install windows to first boot device. Have done!
I ran into this problem today in 2022, man, after 6 years of posting this video it solve the problem for me,you are the best and your way is the only way worked for me,seen alot of videos explaining that method but the way you did it is the right way,thank you from Iraq
Thank you for the video. it was helpful. If you happen to run into the issue I had with the disk format being in mbr, here are the steps to convert to gpt. Reopen command prompt using shift +f10 and type the following - diskpart list disk select disk 1 (choose the disk you want to install Windows on) clean - (this will not delete the windows files previously transferred) convert gpt exit Another thing I ran into was with the boot loader identifier. I am unsure of what to do because I don't have an alpha numeric sequence as shown in the video. Mine just says {current}. If you know what I should do here please let me know.
Thank you! I've been building PCs, and doing computer-tech work for the past 20 years. I bought a PC from someone whom told me he couldn't figure out the problem with it. I ended up give it the name Lucy...for Lucifer. This thing's been giving me problems from the start; and, I was able to solve all of them...but, then it gave me THIS "unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition" problem. Thankfully...it's the last problem Lucy gave me. She works, now. Thank you, AGAIN, for the excellent tutorial. It was just about as perfect as anyone can make it. Have a beautiful day. And, best of luck/skill on all your future builds/repairs.
Thanks - had this error on an older laptop where I was trying to install win10, this solution solved the " unable to create a new system". It was driving me crazy, almost gave up until I found your post.
Been struggling with Win 10 failed upgrades for weeks. Ended up in a deep dark spiral of ISOs, installation media, boot drives, ending up with this error. Was pulling my hair out, but your video literally had everything needed step by step. I’m now reinstalling Windows 10 - thank you!
Absolute legend! As Derrick monroe said below you might need to convert the disk from MBR to GPT. Follow the tutorial above and then after cleaning it and before creating the partition to copy the install files, type in "convert GPT". Should get you across the line :)
This is an amazing video. I followed it by word and got my issue solved. The only thing to note is that when you create the primary partition make sure it is atleast the minimum size of the windows. (In case of windows 10, create atleast 25gb or 25600 instead of 5000. Rest is amazing Miguel. Cheers
This is what made it work for me, thanks for the suggestion. Kept failing at 5gb, worked at 30gb on first try. Its a 500 gb hard drive. Who cares if I lose some space, but the computer works instead of being a paperweight. Maybe I can delete that partition later...
My husband and I would like to thank you very much! We were about to take a gun to our laptop, but your video saved it!! We appreciate your concise and expert guidance in helping us through this error. Thank you so much!
Took several hours to install WIN 11 and finally figured out with the help of the video. I had to change a few commands: > clean > convert gpt > create partition primary size=8000 ... > xcopy c: e: /e/h/k (the one in the video had the wrong order) Upon the installation is completed, to prevent the installer from auto starting, I had to delete the installation partition after following the installer prompts and then re-start.
I watch instructional videos like this daily on RUclips. This is the first one that worked EXACTLY Step by Step as described! EXCELLENT! Thank you very much! New subscriber :-)
This might be late, but it's after watching this video that I tried something a bit different from it and it worked. I simply deleted one empty partition (and it became "unallocated"). After I just selected that "unallocated" partition and hit next ... then the installation went on. Thanks again for this video though. If not for your video I wouldn't have tried what I did. Cheers guys
Thanks alot, i copied a bunch of youtube videos and nothing worked. Deleted the partition that i didn't need and the SSD that i wanted to use was then available 👍
Kandyman1028 that happened to me too, but when I loaded up in my install USB and tried installing it worked. Give it a try cause you never know, maybe it will work for you too.
Hello. This video make things more complicated. You just acess laptop BIOS and change boot order, set the drive that you want to install windows to first boot device. Have done!
Thanks for this easy to follow video. Was trying to get an old laptop setup for my son’s online classes because of COVID-19 and couldn’t get it going until this. 👍🏾
Thanks for the helpful video! For anyone who has the same issue, do check the simpler options in the description. It turns out all I needed to do was unplug my installation USB key and plug it back in.
Miguel you're the man! Thank you!!! Just used this method to install Windows 10 after creating a bootable USB using the Media Creation Tool. Worked perfectly! 👍
Hello. This video make things more complicated. You just acess laptop BIOS and change boot order, set the drive that you want to install windows to first boot device. Have done!
If only all RUclips videos were this clear, eh? Perfection! One thing; That 5gb is enough for Windows 10 Pro too. It's just a partition to install windows from, so you will lose that space once it's done. Keep it small!
Ran into this problem installing a new SSD into my sons pc, in my 25 years of repairing PC's, never ran into this problem. Did try the diskpart commands but they weren't working but once I followed your video, It corrected my wrongs. Thanks for making my sons Christmas and mine a peacful one lol
Thank you. Not often I find a tutorial like this that is clear and easy to follow and it works! I skipped the 'convert gtp' command that some recommend and completed all the way through copying files to the new partition. The only bump I hit was when rebooting, it didn't automatically start the windows install. Legacy boot was disabled in the BIOS & when I enabled it & restarted the pc again, I was able to choose boot from HDD and installation began. Thank you again!
And after spending another 2hrs loading apps & adjusting some settings , (during which restarts did take place) I shut it down . Came back later to fire it up again and got a message "An operating system wasn't found"! Say what? I'm afraid I might have to start over & can't even imagine why
You are the third and final video for me to successfully install Windows 11. I just bought a Sager laptop with 13th gen i9, 4060 gpu, ddr5, etc. This company doesn't come with an OS and Xoticpc where I bought it wanted $100 extra to install it. My dumbass thought I could just clone my OEM Asus drive and plug n play it. Nope, BSOD. I bought 2 Acer Predator 4Tb drives and 64Gb memory separately to save money. I had to fresh install Win11 and what a nightmare that is. Booting from a usb flash drive... didn't even see my drive telling me it wasn't GPT. Found a video where I had to load the Intel RST drivers to even recognize it. After that I got the error that your video shows and followed your instructions. My drives had different letters so I just looked closely and subbed the letters. Low and behold it worked. I got to install the OS. When it booted I was left with 2 partitions of equal size(the entire drive X2). I deleted the duplicate but now I have an unallocated space that is equal to the entire space that is active. Everything looks normal but in disk management the ssd shows an active partiton of 3.78Tb and an unallocated partition of 3.78Tb. How do I make that unallocated partition disappear?
Still works! However one thing to note: Make sure you have legacy boot on. On UEFI, it doesn’t boot into the newly created NTFS partition. Additionally on UEFI, you cannot install without MBR
Hello. This video make things more complicated. You just acess laptop BIOS and change boot order, set the drive that you want to install windows to first boot device. Have done!
This is great. I would like to add a couple of items though. If you are installing Win10, you will need to make the partition larger than 5000 (more like 15000), otherwise there will not be enough space to copy the install files to the new partition. Win10 USB is 13GB. Secondly, you will probably have to delete both the 32 bit and 64 bit entries from the boot loader before rebooting the computer or it will keep loading the install screen. Other than that, this is a great tutorial video! @avoiderrors thank you for posting this!
Anthony Pascullo he goes over the process in the video. You just delete both the 32bit and 64bit system identifiers one after the other before you reboot
Yes BUT, then you need to disconect your usb drive or remove instalation CD, an THEN you need to reboot PC, and THEN while rebooting pres F9 multiple times to select boot option, and FINALY select hard drive as a boot drive
Maja Nincevic BRO I LOVE ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I WAS LETTING THE USB IN MY COMPUTER EXITING AND HAD ALWAYS THE SAME PROBLEM BIG LOVE TO YOU BRO, IF YOU NEED ANYTHING I'M HERE
Thank you Miguel, it appears to be working now -- (presently waiting for very slow installation progress). But there is one thing that confused me, initially. It was not clear to me what the environment is, in which you are running at the start of the tutorial. I thought you had to be running an existing prior Windows installation. I now realize that this is the environment obtained by booting the installation USB or DVD.
I can testify this works as long as you don't fat finger anything, and understand the drive letters. Also used this to get around a very old motherboard bios issue. Thanks man

When I select the Unallocated space it says The drive has an MBR partition table and that Windows can only be installed to GPT disks. How to fix this issue?
Also from my side.. BIG THX for this tutorial! I had several times this issue with multiple PCs the 20years or so, and I always ended up sending the devices to the Manufacturer-Support, and waisted my money. Your tutorial on this case is gold! THX Sir!
Great tutorial! You saved my computer. I was installing an update one day it the computer got stuck on the booting screen. I had to restart it and nothing happened. The comupter would constantly go into reboot. I installed a new hard drive and couldn't figure out why I could not get Windows installed on the new drive via a USB flash drive. Thank you SO MUCH for this great video!
Well that wouldve been fuckin nice to see before, goddamnit Thank you btw, mad at myself and the fact I gotta redo this whole thing, not your helpful advice
Thanks to your video I was able to install Windows 10 on an old MacBook Pro Early 2011 (8.1) with MacOS High Sierra. I tried pretty much any other method out there, and since I replaced my optical drive with a secondary hdd I had pretty much given up. Thank you a thousand times.

Seriously thank you for the tutorial.... It took me a couple of tries so I want to clarify what helped me in case I can help anyone else:
1) as many comments point out, after "clean" , type another command "convert gpt". The next step "active" won't work but you can skip it.
2) My partition at 8000 was too small, 15000 worked.
3) at the xcopy step, "xcopy e: c:/e/h/k " The first letter is the usb or dvd that you are booting the files from (e), and (c) is the partition you want to move them to. But if the drive where you are booting from is a different letter, like F, do "xcopy f: c:/e/h/k". Do not replace the second 'e' with f as well. the second e means something different lol.
4) after you create the partition and copy the files there, restart the computer and REMOVE YOUR USB OR DVD DEVICE. Then try again to finally install in the partition with the unallocated space. When I tried to do it without removing the usb, it was telling me I couldn't use that partition.
Thank you for explaining the second 'e'. I thought it was a Source Drive letter. No wonder command only copied 4 files from the Source drive.

@@ryanyazzen602 how do you do that?
@@michaelsj7968 "convert gpt" then wait for a moment
What do I do if I didn't know I needed to convert to gpt BEFORE making the partition? I'm worried this video has made my problem worse and I can't install onto this drive now because MBR.
Im very confused. My installation errors out with "windows cant be installed, disk is gpt partition" if I do the gpt fix, but if I leave it mbr it keeps the same error of "setup was unable to create new system partition ", idk how to move forward!
Edit: fixed by unplugging the second hard drive I had. Suddenly none of these errors persisted and the install was successful
Man this is how all tutorials should look like! Step by step information from start to finish, very clear explanation. Thank you!
Peeps! At 3:08 of the video... DON'T make the mistake of replacing the 'e' in e/h/k bit of 'xcopy e: c:/e/h/k' with a different letter.
I (like others here) saw that my OWN dvd drive was not named as E (but rather D)... So I figured ''Ohh ok, so for this line here, I just have to replace ANY instance of 'E' with 'D''.... Which is true, EXCEPT for the e/h/k bit!
So lets say your DVD / USB is labled as Z.... You could write...
xcopy z: c:/e/h/k
Hope that helps! It won't copy across all the files otherwise!
If you caught this and need to start over.... Just literally repeat the process of this video from the start again and you'll be ok :)
@dark angel
Lifesaver!
Broblem 0 file copied. :(
Thanks! Got it working ! Thanks a million!
I figured it would be common sense to check your drive letters to make sure you matched them correctly lol.
Thank you! this worked for me. Thanks to commenters for pointing out that after step 5, I needed to "convert gpt" to avoid a later error message, and that once converted to GPT, step 9 "active" no longer applies.
Also, for anyone who gets thrown like I did by different drive letters in xcopy: the first letter is the source drive, the second letter is the destination drive, and the next three letters are all parameters for xcopy. In other words, change the first two letters to match your actual drive letters, but leave the last three letters alone.
THANK YOU FOR POINTING THIS OUT OMG
To be more clear: “step 5” is after the ‘clean’ step.
Type “convert gpt” (without quotations) AFTER the clean step is completed, and it should convert.
Then continue video from there.
yeah after 6 hours i got to this video only to use up another 3 hours to get to this comment. its going smoothly now. everytime i go to install windows 10 on a computer, i get a days work of problems. the good news is years of microsofting has taught me how to pirate software. you injected your own tail with the venom, Bill
to change the first two letter ? this where im lactking can please explain me better
My savior!
You saved me a lot of time. After wasting three full days and not achieving anything, this simple and clear tutorial let me do it in a few minutes. I'm impressed!
Same. Steam won't run properly on win 10 so back to win 7 and this nightmare
7 years later this video is still helping people. Many thanks!
Finally someone straight to the point with accurate info
Cannot use the unallocated space because the disk has a MBR partition table ??
Same thing here. Says it needs to be GPT?
@@neil5010 FYI after you do the 'clean' command run 'convert gpt' and it should convert the drive to GPT which will allow it to work when you go to select it in the installer.
@@anthonycalarie1414 at that point i cannot use the active command
@@aladvs Do you mean if you run 'clean', then 'convert gpu', then 'active' you get an error when running 'active'?

i cannot explain the amount of pure relief this video has given me with installing a clean windows 11 on my new computer. literal tears streaming down my face thank you so much.
I have watched at least 15 videos claiming to help you through this error and all failed. This one took it step by step, no fluff. Unreal how good this is. Thanks for making this video.
I was about ready to punch my monitor in frustration, typical bloody windows releasing an update that breaks more than it fixes. You're a life saver Miguel, and a monitor saver!

Thanks for this. Some tips for 2021:
- you may have to make your partition bigger cuz Windows has gotten bigger
- if you get the error "windows cannot install required files. make sure all files required for installation are available", then don't unplug your original install media. Windows can still use that to install on the Unused partition.
If you use UEFI boot, add "convert gpt" after the "clean" command, and omit the "active" command at the end of the sequence. Otherwise Windows will refuse to install on a MBR disk with the UEFI boot
I always tell my friends that RUclips tutorials are a second University and you just proved that. Thank you so much for the detailed help.
PSA: When assigning a size for your partition, DO NOT make the partition any larger than 20GB. This partition is only going to hold the install files, so it doesn't need to be any larger than 20GB. I made this partition 900GB the first time around and had to repeat the process.
Thank you
How did u delete ur 900 gb partition
@@shakiiizzda1354 you start the process again. the "clean" command from the diskpart section will take care of that
After the successful installation of OS, can I delete the partition used to hold the installation files? I made it 20gb and too big for the windows 7 installation files
This partition can be deleted and merged with the main one once it finishes installing though, right?
Man, you saved my life! Spent all day trying to restore my computer with no success. Tried again tonight with your tutorial, and BAM! it works !
One important note though : at 3:52 clicking next will prompt you an error (well, it did in my case) about the partition being in MDR instead of GPT. For those having the same issue, at 1:28 just after entering the "clean" command and then hitting Enter, before going to the next command type "convert GPT" and hit Enter. And you're good to go and follow the rest of the tuto! Peace!
Thank u sir
awesome ty
You are a lifesaver
after typing "active" it sayins "the ACTIVE command can only be used on fixed MBR disks"
@@boogiemeister9581 I also get this :(
Do not do the xcopy part here are the proper steps
Diskpart
List disk
Select disk x
Clean
Convert gpt
Create partition primary size=15000
Format fs=ntfs quick
Assign
Then exit and restart select the unallocated space and wallah
The first strategy went bad for me but I am still grateful… because I found this comment and it worked for me… thank you Tanta😎
Can't use format fs command, it says "the file system is incompatible" help?
This was a lifesaver!! Thank you!
why do you create partition 15000? What is that? I have 4 drives that are about 3.8T. I don't understand that part fully.

Dude - this SAVED me. My boot drive died and I got stuck in a "Preparing Automatic Repair" loop and NONE of the "solutions" were working. Even installing a new windows on a different drive wasn't working the way it was supposed to. I had to use this solution by going into the command prompt and forcing a partition that way. What a nightmare it was until I found this video after 5 hours of troubleshooting. As others mentioned in the comments, I also had to convert the MBR drive to a GPT, which was easy (found another video explaining it).
Thank you sir! Subscribed and liked! I work from home, so I HAD to get this fixed asap. You're my hero.
I cant thank you enough for your simple yet effective tutorials. Literally with every error I encountered, I watched your videos and they all helped PERFECTLY. Once again, thank you!
When I select the Unallocated space it says The drive has an MBR partition table and that Windows can only be installed to GPT disks
FIXED:
after you do the 'clean' command at the start, type: 'convert gpt' and it fixes the future issue :)
I tried that but then it doesn't let me use the active command because it isn't a fixed mbr disk
This comment needs more upvotes. I got pretty annoyed when I was going through the process and it told me it was MBR now. (I had already swapped this drive to GPT, but it still didn't want to play nice.) So. Thank you for that. Worked beautifully.
@@dkb2375 I'm confident that you've resolved this by now, but to hopefully help anyone else who comes across this; once you have it set to gpt, you can skip that step and it'll work just fine.
You saved my ass, thank you so much
You are a lifesaver. For people like you it's that this growing community gets better. Have a nice day
The best teacher on RUclips. His English is perfect and he’s able to make you understand with ease.
FIVE years later - STILL valid - STILL saving asses :) - Thank you sir
Very well done guide.. Saves the day! Applicable to windows 10 installation specially when you encounter the error of being unable to install windows on a MBR disk. This guy is a champion!
Another good tutorial from the man that saves his RUclips friends from tech errors. Thanks again friend.
You saved my life!! I was reformatting and reinstalling my computer and I could just get past this error, searched everywhere online and none of them worked except yours, thank you so much!
This tuto was insane !
In my case after installation, it reboots in loop in the partition were installation files were installed. I just removed that partition and it boots on the right one.
Later on windows I concat the 2 partitions with diskmanager to avoid to have an "empty and unused partition" on the disk.
Thx a lot for this dude !
:)
I had a similar issue and got stuck in the reboot loop where the install files were installed. Thanks for posting about just deleting the data from the original partition!

Oh my GOD, I spent HOURS going through everybody else's solutions to this problem. Bless you, sir! I finally got windows to install using your instructions.
Coming from.the future , 7 years later , after multiple problems trying to install win 10 onto an older desktop , this was the only solution that worked.

Work?
I ran into this problem today in 2022, man, after 6 years of posting this video it solve the problem for me,you are the best and your way is the only way worked for me,seen alot of videos explaining that method but the way you did it is the right way,thank you from Iraq
Wow, my computer hasn't been working for over a year and I just found your video and it's fixed now. Thank you SO much!
Of all the RUclips video's that I've seen, your tutorial helped me the most, nothing worked until I tried this out. Thank you!
Thank you for the video. it was helpful. If you happen to run into the issue I had with the disk format being in mbr, here are the steps to convert to gpt. Reopen command prompt using shift +f10 and type the following -
diskpart
list disk
select disk 1 (choose the disk you want to install Windows on)
clean - (this will not delete the windows files previously transferred)
convert gpt
exit
Another thing I ran into was with the boot loader identifier. I am unsure of what to do because I don't have an alpha numeric sequence as shown in the video. Mine just says {current}. If you know what I should do here please let me know.
Thank you!
I've been building PCs, and doing computer-tech work for the past 20 years. I bought a PC from someone whom told me he couldn't figure out the problem with it. I ended up give it the name Lucy...for Lucifer.
This thing's been giving me problems from the start; and, I was able to solve all of them...but, then it gave me THIS "unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition" problem. Thankfully...it's the last problem Lucy gave me. She works, now.
Thank you, AGAIN, for the excellent tutorial. It was just about as perfect as anyone can make it. Have a beautiful day. And, best of luck/skill on all your future builds/repairs.
Thanks - had this error on an older laptop where I was trying to install win10, this solution solved the " unable to create a new system". It was driving me crazy, almost gave up until I found your post.
Been struggling with Win 10 failed upgrades for weeks. Ended up in a deep dark spiral of ISOs, installation media, boot drives, ending up with this error. Was pulling my hair out, but your video literally had everything needed step by step. I’m now reinstalling Windows 10 - thank you!
Absolute Chad of tutorials couldn't have been any more helpful.
Absolute legend! As Derrick monroe said below you might need to convert the disk from MBR to GPT. Follow the tutorial above and then after cleaning it and before creating the partition to copy the install files, type in "convert GPT". Should get you across the line :)
Thank you so much for re commenting this…I had this issue and it helped me..thanks again!
This is an amazing video. I followed it by word and got my issue solved. The only thing to note is that when you create the primary partition make sure it is atleast the minimum size of the windows. (In case of windows 10, create atleast 25gb or 25600 instead of 5000.
Rest is amazing Miguel.
Cheers
Holy poo this comment helped a lot
This is what made it work for me, thanks for the suggestion. Kept failing at 5gb, worked at 30gb on first try. Its a 500 gb hard drive. Who cares if I lose some space, but the computer works instead of being a paperweight. Maybe I can delete that partition later...
Can we delete this partition after successful installation?
My husband and I would like to thank you very much! We were about to take a gun to our laptop, but your video saved it!! We appreciate your concise and expert guidance in helping us through this error. Thank you so much!
Hello, how are you?
Took several hours to install WIN 11 and finally figured out with the help of the video. I had to change a few commands:
> clean
> convert gpt
> create partition primary size=8000
...
> xcopy c: e: /e/h/k (the one in the video had the wrong order)
Upon the installation is completed, to prevent the installer from auto starting, I had to delete the installation partition after following the installer prompts and then re-start.
Can you explain how you were able to delete? I'm stuck in a loop with the installer
you may have to type in 'convert GPT' after cleaning the drive or 'convert MBR' depending on your computer

This might be late, but it's after watching this video that I tried something a bit different from it and it worked. I simply deleted one empty partition (and it became "unallocated"). After I just selected that "unallocated" partition and hit next ... then the installation went on. Thanks again for this video though. If not for your video I wouldn't have tried what I did.

One thing; That 5gb is enough for Windows 10 Pro too. It's just a partition to install windows from, so you will lose that space once it's done. Keep it small!
Ran into this problem installing a new SSD into my sons pc, in my 25 years of repairing PC's, never ran into this problem. Did try the diskpart commands but they weren't working but once I followed your video, It corrected my wrongs. Thanks for making my sons Christmas and mine a peacful one lol
Thank you. Not often I find a tutorial like this that is clear and easy to follow and it works!
I skipped the 'convert gtp' command that some recommend and completed all the way through copying files to the new partition. The only bump I hit was when rebooting, it didn't automatically start the windows install. Legacy boot was disabled in the BIOS & when I enabled it & restarted the pc again, I was able to choose boot from HDD and installation began. Thank you again!
And after spending another 2hrs loading apps & adjusting some settings , (during which restarts did take place) I shut it down . Came back later to fire it up again and got a message "An operating system wasn't found"! Say what? I'm afraid I might have to start over & can't even imagine why

You are the third and final video for me to successfully install Windows 11. I just bought a Sager laptop with 13th gen i9, 4060 gpu, ddr5, etc. This company doesn't come with an OS and Xoticpc where I bought it wanted $100 extra to install it. My dumbass thought I could just clone my OEM Asus drive and plug n play it. Nope, BSOD. I bought 2 Acer Predator 4Tb drives and 64Gb memory separately to save money. I had to fresh install Win11 and what a nightmare that is. Booting from a usb flash drive... didn't even see my drive telling me it wasn't GPT. Found a video where I had to load the Intel RST drivers to even recognize it. After that I got the error that your video shows and followed your instructions. My drives had different letters so I just looked closely and subbed the letters. Low and behold it worked. I got to install the OS. When it booted I was left with 2 partitions of equal size(the entire drive X2). I deleted the duplicate but now I have an unallocated space that is equal to the entire space that is active. Everything looks normal but in disk management the ssd shows an active partiton of 3.78Tb and an unallocated partition of 3.78Tb. How do I make that unallocated partition disappear?
Still works! However one thing to note:
Make sure you have legacy boot on. On UEFI, it doesn’t boot into the newly created NTFS partition. Additionally on UEFI, you cannot install without MBR
This was a lifesaver after several days of frustration. Thank you!
This was awesome. I tried everything else I could find too fix this issue, and nothing worked. This did, Windows 10 is installing as I write this!

You are truly a modern-day hero in a world lacking heroes.
Honestly... If I could I would give you a hug right now. You fixed the problem I tried to fix 5 hours yesterday.
This is great. I would like to add a couple of items though. If you are installing Win10, you will need to make the partition larger than 5000 (more like 15000), otherwise there will not be enough space to copy the install files to the new partition. Win10 USB is 13GB. Secondly, you will probably have to delete both the 32 bit and 64 bit entries from the boot loader before rebooting the computer or it will keep loading the install screen. Other than that, this is a great tutorial video! @avoiderrors thank you for posting this!
How would you go about doing that last step in windows 10?
Anthony Pascullo he goes over the process in the video. You just delete both the 32bit and 64bit system identifiers one after the other before you reboot
How do i delete 32 and 64 bit entries? I got problem with coming back to the instalation setup after installing the windows
Yes BUT, then you need to disconect your usb drive or remove instalation CD, an THEN you need to reboot PC, and THEN while rebooting pres F9 multiple times to select boot option, and FINALY select hard drive as a boot drive
