  1. Disk being detected but 0MB during install


    I’ve recently come across a blue screen and attempted to get a windows10 bootable usb. When I was trying for a long time to get it to work and eventually got it to work, it wouldn’t let me install a fresh copy onto the disk because it wouldn’t format the partitions. I ran diskpart and cleaned the disk and left me with un allocated space but still wouldn’t let me continue. After restarting my unallocated space changed from 936GB to 0GB. I also tried to install Ubuntu to see if the disk would detect there and it also wouldn’t. When I go into the BIOS, the disk is listed there.

    This is a laptop, a Lenovo Z51-70

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Steam does not install from disk?!?!

    no you're doing steps 1 and 2 wrong. steam creates the directory, you stop steam and then you install the game from the disk to that directory.

    also steam must be off, not in offline mode but off, aka no steam services in the task manager when you install the game.

    Disk being detected but 0MB during install

    diskpart doesn't show disk

    Hey,

    I am trying to install Win10 on a mac book air.

    However the diskpart does not list the disk even after reformatting the partition as NTFS per suggestion.

    read through this solution but cannot move to step 1 listed in the solution by Ivan as that disk doesn't see that partition it was just able to reformat.

    Regards
