When installing Windows7, many people must have encountered such a situation! When choosing to install in the installation interface, but "the installation program cannot create a new system partition, nor can it locate an existing system partition "
The installer cannot create a new system partition, nor can it locate an existing partition
Other solutions available online:
Method 1: A friend has tested and found a very simple method. This method first needs to reformat the C drive. After formatting, do not do any operation, pull out the U disk, and then plug it in again. Click Refresh. At this time, select Disk C and click Next. It should be successful. Of course, this method would be great if it worked.
Method 2: If you can see "Drive Advanced Options" during installation. Then click "Drive Advanced Options" in the lower right corner of the installation interface, select the above C drive, delete, and then re-create the system partition. At this time, the operation is relatively simple. At this time, there will be multiple partitions of 100M and 300M when re-establishing the partition. That is for guidance or recovery, you can search and learn by yourself. It can also be ignored.
Method 3: The above two methods still can not solve the problem, please use the pe boot disk to install. At this time, there are more methods and more gadgets. The basic principle is to copy the installation files to the hard disk after the PE is uploaded. You can use the nt6 method or copy individual files to the c drive and use the command method. All count as hard disk installation method. The premise to be able to do this is that you have a USB flash drive, other available computers, and the Internet.
One example:
-
Restart the machine and start it via U disk. Enter win pe system
-
Enter the win pe system and format the C drive as NTFS. It is best to have more than 15 G of space on the C drive, and I suggest you divide it into 30 G or more.
-
Find the three files boot, bootmgr and sources from the folder of the installation program you unzipped, and copy them to the root directory of the C drive.
-
Run cmd in the win pe system, enter "c:\boot\bootsect.exe /nt60 c:" (note that there is a space between exe and /nt60, /nt60 and c:), then press Enter, you will see the prompt successful The statement is successful! Then restart the computer.
Method 4: When none of the above methods is too troublesome, there is another more troublesome that is to use diskgenius as an artifact partition under PE. Trouble is troublesome, but it can solve the problem fundamentally. You still have to learn how to partition, but you must be careful not to disturb when there are important data on the computer. Remember, remember. It hurts the most TMD heartache of the data. The editor of win8e did such a terrifying thing. Don't dare to fool around with partitions in the future.
Method 5: It is the solution I used today, which is to test the installation of uefi and non-uefi respectively. When uefi is prompted, mbr is not gpt and cannot be installed. When it is not uefi, it prompts that the installer cannot create a new system partition. Anyway, it won't work. Then simply shift+F10 to clean the SSD and repartition. Why is the 120 SSD not scored two disks? Since Win10 is used, the beautiful UEFI+64-bit Win10+SSD program for the C disk is also installed here. The rest of the hard disk is so smart for data storage. Since this plan requires the following operations:
shift+F10 to open the command box,
Enter "Diskpart" (no need to enter the quotation marks, the same below), and press Enter to enter the operation interface
Enter: "list disk" to view disk information.
Input: "select disk 0", select disk 0 as the currently operating disk, pay attention to see if your 0 is going to be killed, don't make a mistake.
Input: "Clean", clear the current disk partition
Input: "convert gpt" to convert to GPT partition.
The operation is complete, close this command prompt window
At this time, refresh and see the unallocated hard disk, just click to create and confirm. I just treat the SSD as the C drive. You can create it in several adjustment numbers. Now that the allocation is complete, click the drive letter of the system to be installed, and the next step. all the best.
