Hello everyone,

I’m trying to figure out where to install Windows.

I am currently reinstalling Windows 10 via a bootable USB drive.

I need to choose "Where do you want to install Windows?"

There are 3 drives (+ partitions):

Drive 0 - partition 1

Drive 1 - partition 1 / partition 2 / partition 3

Drive 2 - partition 1 / partition 2 /

The current Windows is not starting, so I can't enter the command %windir%

I’ve tried with Diskpart (to no avail)

Thank you in advance for your suggestions!

Have a great day

Fanny

    Hello,

    You can check with diskpart. Run it in admin CMD mode:

    diskpart

    list disk

    Post the result here!

      After that and to complete the order:

      sel disk 0

      detail disk

      Please also post a screenshot of the disk management!

      Was it of course disk 0 that the system is installed on?

        Yes, disk 4 corresponded to my bootable USB stick.

        I retrieved the list of diskpart commands for my future experiments. ;) *

        Thanks again.
