  1. Trying to install windows 10 on my desktop with new hard drive.


    I'm usually not the type of person to ask questions on this type of forum, but I've run out of options. I apparently had a pretty bad hard drive failure on my old hard-drive used it for like 3 years was a solid seagate hdd so I went ahead and bough a new ssd and hdd. I plugged them in using the sata connectors, and set them up in my desktop. I'm trying to go ahead and install windows using a flash drive created with the media creation tool, but am having trouble once I get to the windows setup step where it asks "where do you want to install windows." When I boot in uefi mode, it works perfectly, I get to the installing windows step, and it does all of the things. 1. copying windows files. 2. getting files ready for installation. 3 installing features. etc. After this, I get a message saying windows needs to restart to continue. the computer restarts, and i am prompted to do the whole process again. The second time around, when i get to where do you want to install windows, i get a myriad of messages essentially saying my hard drive is formated wrong, along with a lot of other messages depending on what i do trying to make different partitions, converting to mbr, etc.. I also tried booting in legacy mode, and there it just reports that windows can't be installed on drive 0 partition 1. it doesn't even work once and then do the restart thing.

    I've set all my settings in the bios to default. I saw something online about a raid or raith thing I might have to do. Does anybody have any ideas what might be happening?

    Thanks in advance!

    :)

    Install Windows 10 on new hard drive.

    Hi Arzlo,

    Thank you for being a part of Windows 10.

    I appreciate you for providing details about the issue and we are happy to help you.

    Please be informed that you cannot install the activated Windows 10 on to the new hard disk.

    If you are replacing the hard disk then you may get Windows 10 activation errors.

    If you are purchasing a new hard disk then, you may have to install genuine Windows 7 (SP1)/8.1 to upgrade to Windows 10 to get Windows 10 activated.

    I suggest you to run check disk on the hard drive to see if there are any corruptions.

    Follow the below steps:

    • Windows key + X, click Command Prompt (Admin).
    • Command Prompt, type the following command, and then press
      ENTER
      :
    chkdsk /f

    Disclaimer: While performing check disk on the hard drive, if any bad sectors are found then check disk will try to repair that sector. Any data available on a bad sector might be lost.

    Once Check Disk completes, boot the computer and then check.

    Reference: Refer to the following Microsoft article on Windows 10 Q&A.

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-10-faq?ppud=4

    Kindly let us know if you need any further assistance with Windows. We are glad to assist you.

    Thank you.
