Windows 10: Can't select a new drive for installing apps

Hello,I've been trying to fix this problem for days now, I own the Game Pass for PC and I'm trying to install games to my 1TB SSD.Currently, I have a different SSD 128gb as the default save location for new apps it already has 1 game installed from the Xbox app and when I try to select my other SSD that I want to use, I get an error code "0x8007005". I've tried giving the SSD I want to change it to full control in the permissoins, I tried asking a support advisor and they told me to do what I've already done and then just disconnected on me. Is there anything I can do to fix this issue? I

W7 Hard drive partition issue

to get rid of that 100 meg windows partition that setup creates for you on a new install on a blank hdd:

- press shift+f10 when on the partition management screen in setup <-- this opens a command prompt
- diskpart <-- start the windows command line partition management tool
- list disk <--- list the installed hdds in this computer for the next step
- select disk 0 <- might have to replace 0 with the number of the correct disk
- clean <-- this will erase all data on the disk you selected one step up- dont use the wrong disk!
- create partition primary <- creates a primary partition taking up all space on the drive, adjust the command if necessary
- exit, exit to exit diskpart and the command prompt
- click refresh in partition manager and select your newly created partition and install to that

 

New 4TB drive install..


So I understand ...
The cloning initialized the drive as GPT and only got so far before failing to read the source drive - right?

You said: Then I remembered something in the back of me head about empty unformatted drive I new then I was stuck
IF you installed clean to unallocated space on the 4 TB drive - everything should be easy.

If the cloning process created the 4 hidden partitions, I'd suggest that you re-install on an empty drive.

I'd like to see how the 4 TB drive is partitioned now.

To make it easy use my custom Disk Management snapin - it displays what I'd like to see.

If you already downloaded the snapin, go to Step 2

Step 1: Download this zip file (contains dmDskmgr-vd.mmc)

dmDskmgr-vd.zip
Step 2: Double click dmDskmgr-vd.zip to open the compressed folder
Double click dmDskmgr-vd.mmc to launch the custom Disk Management console
You'll get an output similar to this:




Press Alt+PrtScn to grab a snapshot of just the Disk Management window
Open Paint and Ctrl+V to paste it, then save the image
Attach the image to a new post.

You can also use Disk Management in the x-Menu (right click the Windows logo, select Disk Management)
Select View > Bottom > Disk list
Maximize the window and grab the screen shot.

We'll go from there.
