  1. While installing Windows: How to recover data from a cleaned disk?/ Media driver missing?


    I was installing windows 10 on an old Lenovo i have that runs linux and accidently cleaned the primary drive in the diskpart command thing. I don't remember why but my other two hard drives could not be used for whatever reason. or maybe i just figured that in my own ideocracy and so i cleaned it thinking there was no other possible options.After exiting from the command prompt terminal and leaving the disk selection screen i went to go back to it and it says, "A media driver you computer needs is missing, This could be..." that pop up. So here are my questions. Is there possible a command

    Lost Data after Converting MBR to GPT during Windows 10 Installation - How Can I Recover It?

    I attempted to install a clean Windows 10 setup and encountered an issue stating, “Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table.” Following recommended steps for EFI systems, I converted the partition table to GPT using the Diskpart tool:

    1. Pressed Shift + F10

    2. Typed: Diskpart

    3. Typed: List Disk

    4. Selected the Disk (in my case, Disk 0)

    5. Typed: Clean

    6. Typed: Convert GPT

    However, after successfully installing Windows, all my drives (D, E, F) disappeared, and all the files within them are now missing. Is there any way to recover this lost data?

    While installing Windows: How to recover data from a cleaned disk?/ Media driver missing?

    Windows 10 clean install 'A media driver is missing’

    Hello 88botong,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    Do you get the error message before the setup starts or when the during installation?

    I appreciate the time and patience you have taken to resolve the issue. Basically you get that error when the download file is incomplete. Kindly check with the below suggestions and see if it works.

    Method 1: Clean installation using Media Creation tool.

    Follow the suggestions provided under the section Using the tool to create installation media (USB flash drive, DVD, or ISO file) to install Windows 10 on a different PC (click to show more or less information)
    from the article on
    Download Windows 10
    to create an installation media and perform clean installation.

    Method 2: When you are trying to install Windows 10 using DVD, burn ISO with the
    slowest speed.

    • If it’s through USB drive, you get a prompt which asks regarding the driver, click on
      Cancel.
    • Once when you reach the welcome screen, insert the USB drive to a different USB port and click on
      Install Now option to install Windows 10.

    Note: Kindly make sure that the ISO is not corrupted.

    Hope it helps.
