    Unable to install windows 10 - couldnt find boot disk

    Some more info on this:

    "Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition". Looking at the setuperr.log file I see an Error 0x06069e IBS GetMachineInfo: Couldn't find boot disk on this BIOS-based computer. Again this all works fine when booted from a USB 3.0 port. It only gives me these problems when booting from a USB 2.0 port"

    Where would I fix the MBR? I booted it up and it detects my harddrive, which is listed as a basic mbr that is unallocated

    EDIT: I found rebuild MBR and selected that and retried the install, but it still gives me the same error. On a side note, I tried installing Ubuntu and that seems to work properly whereas Windows 10 doesnt

    The consensus of opinion seems to point to the USB itself - Diskpart sees it as disk 0 and tries to install to it or something like that - still trying to piece things together.

    Whenever I've used diskpart, my hard drive has always been disk 0

    Second question, then - is it a UEFI computer? Try converting the disk to GPT (initialize disk as GPT if available or convert to GPT) in MiniTool Partition Wizard. There should be no partitions on the disk when you run Windows setup, it should be all unallocated space.

    Unable to install windows 10 - couldnt find boot disk

    When I went into bios, I saw UEFI appear a few times, so I would assume so. I just tried converting to GPT, but that doesnt seem to work either

    If it helps, here is the complete error message from setupact.log

    GetSystemDiskNTPath: Unable to get required buffer size for system disk from BCD APIs; status = 0xc0000452
    GetMachineInfo: Couldn't find boot disk on this BIOS-based computer.

    Well then apart from trying Navy's suggestion - the initial solution regarding Diskpart create partition - make it active and copy the files to it - then rather boot from there, would be the way I'd go.
