Windows 10: Setup couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one!

I downloaded Windows 10 May 2019 update from Microsoft on May 24.. Used the Media Creation Tool to create installation media (USB drive).

I used DISKPART to clean drive and put it in “uninitialized state”. Regardless of attempts to do clean install on either HD or SSD, get the same message “couldn't create a new partitionor locatean existing one”.

Please advise.

We couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one.

I will suggest this article next time.

 

We couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one.

So I was doing a clean install of windows 10 using a USB and I deleted all the partitions including the system reserve one. The only drive left now is "Drive 0 Partition 1". It is set as primary.

The problem is everything I click to continue the installation, I get the error "We couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one."

I followed instructions from sites such as this, https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com...g-files-when-you-try-to-install-windows-8-cp/
and I still got the same error.

I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could help.

 

Windows couldn't create a partition or locate an existing one


I had a kali linux installed in my computer. Then I tried to install Windows 10 using a bootable USB drive. (I created it by downloading the windows 10 ISO and then creating USB drive using Rufus.) But when I was trying to install windows 10, it shows my hard drive, but it doesn't installing to it. Error message is the following:
Code:

Code:

We couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one. For more information, see the Setup log files.

Then I checked for the log file (X:\Windows\panther\setupact.log) It has this message:
Code:

Code:

LogReasons: [BLOCKING reason for disk 0: CanBeSystemVolume] The selected disk is not the computer's boot disk

I know that right ? USB disk is the boot disk here. Then I searched in the internet for a solution. I came up with this: http://blogs.technet.com/b/asiasupp/...dows-8-cp.aspx
I followed all the instructions there. Cleaned my hard disk using DISKPART and formatting and stuff. Then I rebooted my machine. But, still it shows the same error. Can anyone got this ?
