  1. Couldn't find a partition or create one. Windows PE


    As the title says I get this error, I've tried creating and formatting using diskpart but no luck. I know my way round cmd, but honestly, I don't really know what I'm doing, I've tried opening a bunch of logs and access is denied. Any help is appreciated, looks like I'm not getting any sleep tonight!

    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
