Windows 10: I'm trying to install windows 10 in a empty SDD but I keep getting the message that there's...

Hello guys,

I've got a Acer Nitro 5 with a 128GB SSD and a 1TB HDD. It came with Linux and I managed to install W10 Home with the media creation tool. I wanted to install the Pro edition a few days later to get the activation key from an older laptop.

When I formatted the SSD with Windows, it started to say I couldn't use that partition because there was not enough space. I get the same message when trying the HDD. I deleted the partition but couldn't create a new

I installed Linux again with no problems, formatted the SSD in NTFS, tried to install the windows again and it just keep having the same issues.

It's like windows can delete things but can't use any of my drives even through they're totally fine and new and Linux have no problem.

Do you guys know what the problem is? I want to see if I can fix it myself before heaving to send it back to the fabricant it something.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: Acer said the only thing they could do is install Linux back, which I've already done. The problem is with Windows

Not able to format 512GB Crucial MX100 (SDD#1)

October 2016

Hi everybody,
Like I say in the topic I can’t format my SSD#1 Crucial MX100 512GB.
Here what I try. Thanks.

Operating System: Windows 10 full updated (October 2016)
Computer: Asus Maximus Formula (buy at 2008)
BIOS: Legacy BIOS (mean no UEFI - Unified Extensible Firmware Interface)

BIOS and Windows 10 recognized the SDD#1.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1- I try Disk Management to format the SDD#1.
One with “Quick format” option check and one with “Quick format” uncheck.

Same result for both:
The windows message received:
“Virtual Disk Manager” (title of the windows showing the message)
The format did not complete successfully (the message)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2- For this step I just connect the SDD#1 and the CDROM
I try to boot from Windows 10 DVD installation, choose “Install” and Windows is not able to delete the partition on the SDD#1. It is not able to create a partition neither. And sure it’s not able to install Windows 10 on the SDD#1.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3- For this step I just connect the SDD#1 and the CDROM
I try to boot from Windows 10 DVD installation, choose “Repair”, go in command prompt and do the following:

Diskpart
List disk
List volume

Select disk 0
Select volume 1
Clean

Message received:
DiskPart has encountered an error: The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error. See the System Event Log for more information.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4- For this step I connect all my SDD#1 and HDD and put the SDD#1 on other port.
I go to CMD and enter the same command than above for same result.
This time I can check the Event Viewer:

Event Viewer
464 Error and 1 Warning

Warning
Event Properties - Event 153, disk
The IO operation at logical block address 0x0 for Disk 2 (PDO name: \Device\0000002a) was retried.

Errors (repeat the following errors 232 time ? - I don't check all but it appear to be same two errors)
Event Properties - Event 24620, BitLocker Driver
Encrypted volume check: Volume information on \\?\Volume{01128aa1-0000-0000-007e-000000000000} cannot be read.

Event Properties - Event 7, disk
The device, \Device\Harddisk2\DR2, has a bad block.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5- I try the free program “ MiniTool Partition Wizard Free Edition 9.1” and nothing work. Not able to delete partion not able to create one.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6- I try GParted under XUbuntu and it’s not work too.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am very sad. I do not have $ 200 for buying another SSD.
Are there something to do to format the SSD # 1?
I can’t believe it's broken. I have hard disks (trays) much older than it and that still works

 

Installing Windows 10 using Windows 7 key

Nope, you need to install Windows 10 first and make sure the Windows 7 key is transferred to your Windows account after you've installed Windows 10 (not quite sure how that works). I missed the last step and I could not activate Windows 10 after a re-install... Microsoft seem to have done everything they can to make it a PITA. Also, it's technically too late to do this now anyhow, as the upgrade offer has expired. But KMSPico works quite well...

As for getting rid of Windows, delete the Windows folder.
