Hello, I wanted to format Windows Seven to upgrade to Ten, so I booted from a USB stick to do a clean install, and when it came time to choose one of my partitions for the installation (after having previously formatted them), I got the following message:


This is the case on all 4 partitions; when I click on unallocated space on drive 0, I see that I can create a new partition, I try and I get the following error message:


I want to note that I have an HDD and an SSD (it seems to me that this is drive 1 partition 1).

I am therefore stuck; I hope I have been clear and that you can help me!

Configuration: Android / Chrome 67.0.3396.87

Hi,

"error we could not create a partition".
It should not be able to write to the disk.

I think it comes from the fact that you already have an EFI and/or MSR partition on the second disk.
Try the installation by disconnecting the second disk.

Based on what I see on the partitions, you have:
Drive 0
Drive 1

If on Drive 1, you already have an EFI partition and/or MSR, it could cause your error.
So, basically, if you want to install Windows on Drive 0, you should try with just that one connected first to see.
