Windows 10: Media Creation Tool Error

To make absolutely sure it ends up as mbr, used diskpart's CONVERT MBR command between the CLEAN and CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY commands. It is usually not necessary, but on odd occasions it is needed (and won't do any harm if it wasn't required).

 

Thanks for that last tip, Bree. Two weeks ago when setting up a couple of my sister's PCs, the manual approach was the only thing that worked for me. Neither MCT nor Rufus would cut it. Very interesting!

Sorry to hear that a lot of people are having problems with this......All I've ever used is a Sandisk 8gb Cruzer Glide flash drive and it has worked flawless everytime.....I quick format it in FAT32 before each new MCT download.....The last time I used it was last week.
