cant install windows (GPT partition)

[astranger200]

So I am trying to install windows on a 30gb partition. I made the partition and load the boot media. when I get to select a partition I select my partition and it says unable to install (gpt partition).

I deleted the partition in the boot media and formated it and it still doesn't work (gpt partition)

fixes?

you need to use diskpart to do a clean command on the partition

google how to do this

Delete all partitions.

Hi there

run the following commands

hit shift + f10

type diskpart

type list disk

type select disk x (x is the number of the drive you want from the list)

type clean

close it and refresh the disks listed on the install page

Back up your hard drive then with all the important stuff you want to keep.

Yes you will need to back up all your data, unfortunately its the only way to fix these kinds of install issues
