    My laptop was corrupted. Last night I tried to format by installing windows 10 using bootable usb. What I did is delete all partition and proceed next, it works. After completing some things, it reboot. I didn't do anything, I just wait until it freshlh installed. But suddenly, it occur an error. My drive was not detect, this morning i figure it out about the bios sata configuration. I change it and my drive was detected already. And now im trying to install it again. My primary storage is about 900gb. When i proceed next error occur that it couldn't find hard drive *the subject of this question*. I also couldn't format nor delete, and if I did my drive will turn into RAW type format. Can somebody help me pls. I don't have any hard drive.

    :)

    Stored files in Hard Drive

    You can use Windows search. Just search for *.* on a desired drive. When list is done just arrange them by size LOL.

    You can do it via command line as well and make an output text file showing files and their sizes (but without arrangement)

    Stored files in Hard Drive

    I'd like to know if there's a way of listing all the files stored in my hardware and arrange them by size, because I want to keep track of what's on my hard drive. Thanks, I hope you answer.

    Windows Setup cannot find a location to store temporary installation files

    Hi Lukito394

    If setup is not offering you the option to select a partition to store temporary files, you need to use an external drive.

    Here are steps how to do that:
