Windows 10: Can't install. possible partition error

Kat - in WinPESE, in the Opera Browser, tools, preferences, advanced, Downloads, you need to find the downloads settings, and set the location of downloads to O:\ before doing the ISO download

 

i think i just beat you to it

 

Right click the iso, select 7-zip, open archive

 

find the sources folder and drag it to the O:\drive

 

close 7-zip after the files have copied

 

open sources and run setup.exe, just as a test at the moment. Don't carry on to a full install yet.

 

okay so just into the setup, and now ive got "we couldnt install windows in the location you chose. 0x80300001"

 

windows has changed the partitions to
1 sys reserve 500 mb
2 698.1 gb but its still throwing this error at me

 

Ok, run one of the partitioners and shrink the o:\partition, so that you leave however much free unallocated space as the Windows ten install you wish to occupy, say 60 GB as a round figure, more if you want.

start setup again and see if setup accepts the unallocated space

what location did you choose?

I don't understand what you mean by this:

 

okay windows has whizzed away and has re partitioned my drive. there is no longer an O:, local disc is now F:
it has created a partition for the system reserve at 500mb and formatted the hdd

 

If all else fails, here is a revised procedure:

 

Ok is the \Sources folder anywhere to be seen? in F:

If you alt tab, you should be able to get back to the Winpese and explorer to see all the changes being made

 

we did it! thanks so much for your help guys, im now looking at a nice clean windows 10 install.
serious props guys, couldnt have done it without you *Biggrin

 

As we say at the North Pole, Ho Ho, HO!
