    In this video, learn how to fix "We couldn’t create a new partition or locate an existing one. For more information, see the Setup log files" error when doing a clean install of Windows 10/8/7.
    1. When the error occurs, press Shift+F10 to open CMD.
    2. When the Command Prompt window opens, run these commands one by one:
    diskpart
    list disk
    select disk X (X: Select the system disk you use)
    clean
    create partition primary size=5000
    format fs=ntfs
    assign
    active
    list volume
    exit
    cd d: (change directory to the USB flash drive)
    xcopy d: c:/d /h /k (Copy all the Windows installation files from USB drive to C: drive)
    3. You can now close Command Prompt and unplug the installation USB drive from computer and restart. After that, start the installation process again. This time error "We couldn't create a new partition" will not happen.
    That's about it.

    What worked for me was just going until the "clean" part, then after cleaning the SSD, I typed "convert gpt". Then "exit", and "exit" again.
    Now I restarted and tried to install Windows again, and it worked like a charm.

    Thank you so much for this video. I just built a new PC and scavenged my SSD from my old build to cut costs for now. All I wanted was to wipe the damned disk and start over from scratch, but Win10 wouldn't let me. It insisted on keeping old files and misnaming my user folder, then refusing to let me fix it.
    I tried using a Ubuntu disk to format, but then I got this error and the methods in this video are the ONLY fixes I've seen that actually worked.

    @Equimoria Před 4 lety +7

    Worked for me with some tweaking. I went through a few different steps because I was doing an install on a UEFI system. Before opening the command prompt, I had the installer create the necessary partitions, but leave about 10GB unpartitioned. I then used that space and made the partition with diskpart, copied the installer contents, then closed the installer and removed the thumbstick I was installing from. Once I started installation again (no reboot!) all worked perfectly. My method works with the 1809 update, didn't try with anything newer.

    This seems to no longer work for a clean install of Win10 1903. All the steps followed, but now when you get the last step and try install on the remaining free space, it won't allow it because the disk has been setup as an MBR partition table, and you can't convert to GPT because of what it sees as as "CDROM" partition (the partition with installation files)

      Alex Atkinson The solution I found was to partition another disk, not the one I was installing to, with the bootable partition from the thumb drive. So all the steps in this video will work, but you need another blank internal disk in addition to the one you intend for your C:/ drive. You could also use a larger external drive. Non-thumb style externals are usually coded to be recognized as an internal disk even if they connect via USB

    Word of mind: don't forget to edit your boot priority in UEFI/BIOS so the Windows Setup can detect your new partition properly! I just ran into this problem and I got frustrated. I saved the boot prio this way:
    1st option = your install device, e.g. a usb drive
    2nd option = the new partition.
    It may happen that you cannot select the harddrive you partitioned, in my case because I run 2 other drives. Look up the harddrive with your new partition in the priority order, then disable everything else above it until it's in 2nd position.
    If I'd known how to do this earlier, I wouldn't have lost hours upon this problem. I hope this will help you

    This works like a charm but quite out date. For more details, I created bootable SSD (not USB as usual) via MACOS. And my setup is TUF x570 + 3600X + NVMe. I can manage to boot to setup page (disable secure boot, fastboot, wifi, enable CSM), but always has a lot of errors. After some search, I known the reason is windows can not install when you have multiples storage devices (I have 2, once is SSD for install windows, and one is NVMe). So what I need to do is copy all file from SSD to NVMe following this videos, and remember to `convert GPT` after the first `clean` command, and `create partition primary size=9000` because 5000MB is not enough for today windows installation. After copying, IMPORTANT thing to do is unplug the SSD. Only keep 1 storage device on mainboard. If anyone has same problem, just leave reply here.

      diskpart
      list disk
      select disk X (X: Select the system disk you use)
      clean
      Convert GPT (This is a very important part if you have M.2 NVMe I believe and what fixed my issue - you still need to do the rest)
      create partition primary size=20000 (you can go less, say 9000, but I did 20000 to be safe)
      format fs=ntfs quick
      assign
      active

      Thanks for this. I was stuck with the part of copying the installer to the hard disk so i decided to see the comments section.
      Someone said you can skip the copying after making the partition and i did just that but it won't let me install it so I re-tried the whole process again taking note of your comment (convert gpt) then skipped the copy installer part. After refreshing i can now install the OS to the unallocated part. It's now at 94% getting files ready for installation. A progress indeed 🎉 thanks!

    Even though this didn't entirely help me, I must say I couldn't do it without it so kudos to you man!
    Here's a description of what I had to do to successfully install Windows 10 on a Thinkpad E15 Gen2 (NVMe SSD) (the commands are wrapped in quotes):
    1. Create a bootable USB with Windows 10
    2. Launch the installer using the USB 2.0 (don’t ask why, it might work for you on 3.0+ but if not try 2.0)
    3. Open Command Prompt (Shift + F10)
    4. Start diskpart: "diskpart"
    5. List disk: "list disk"
    6. Select the disk you’d want the Windows to be installed on: "select disk 0"
    7. Clean the disk (ATTENTION: this will delete all the data on the disk, make sure you have a backup of it somewhere): "clean"
    8. Convert the disk to GPT. This is the new standard that replaces MBR in all new systems (Thanks to @Indigo Wyvern for this): "convert gpt"
    9. Create a new primary partition and set its size (depending on your needs): "create partition primary size=50000"
    10. Format the newly created partition to NTFS: "format fs=ntfs"
    11. Assign a default letter to the newly created partition: "assign"
    12. List all current volumes you have. At least two should be present, one being your drive in your computer and the other one the USB flash drive from where the Windows is about to be installed. Remember the letters assigned to both these drives: "list volume"
    13. Exit diskpart: "exit"
    14. Run the following commands to fix MBR: "bootrec /FixMbr" "bootrec /FixBoot" "bootrec /RebuildBcd"
    15. Change the directory to the USB flash drive (remember the letter associated to the USB flash drive from step 12.): "cd d:"
    16. Copy the install files from the USB flash drive to the drive in your computer: "xcopy d: c:/e/h/k"
    17. The copying might take a while so please be patient. As soon as it’s done exit the command prompt: "exit"
    18. Restart the computer.
    19. The installer will launch again and you can now select the previously created partition and proceed with the installation.
    20. NOTE: The installation should work now BUT in order to avoid unexpected errors during installation remove the USB flash drive from your computer.
    21. The installation should finish properly and the initial Windows setup should show up.

    This is great, thank you! One comment for anyone where its still not working - I got tripped up on the size of the partition, a lot of modern installers exceed 5gb, and the xcopy fails silently if there isnt enough space on the partition. Its worth making sure your partition exceeds the size of the files on your boot drive!
