Boot drive problem

[Dilen futch]

New boot drive with a USB fresh install and it said “we couldn’t create a new partition or locate an existing one for more information to see the set up log files”

not sure what I am doing wrong

There appears to be two partitions on the drive with data. If you want to wipe the drive and install windows fresh - delete the two existing partitions first so you get an unallocated option.

 

Otherwise you will need to resize partition 2 so another partition can be created to install windows to it.

thank you, I was looking at it as free space not a partition. It’s always the simplest things
