    Windows could not format a partition on disk 0. The error occured while preparing the computer's system volume. Error code 0x80070057

    I have done everything possible to Install windows, after having and issue with my ASUS F555BP laptop bootig up into the BIOS. I have made a WIN 10 Reinsall flash drive, and followed the steps that have been suggested in many YouTube Video, Microsoft Pages, and other Tech forums and artcles. I am getting the following error:

    Windows could not format a partition on disk 0. The error occured while preparing the computer's system volume. Error code 0x80070057.

    I am now on the screen that says Windows Setup, and am asked where do I want to insall Windows. And it is now showing only 1 entry: (Name) Drive 0 Partition 1 (Total Size) 931.5 GB (Free Space) 931.5 GB (Type) Primary.

    At the borrom of the screen it says: " Windows can't be installed on drive 0 partition 1. (Show Details)" When I click Show Details it says Windows cannot be installed on this disk. The seleted disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows can only be installed to GPT disks. The only options below the box are Refresh, Load drier, delete, and Format.

    I have been trying to get back to Windows since Friday the 23-09-2022.

    I don't know what the issue is, or how to progress from here.

    PLEASE HELP, I am desperate. I cannot afford to get it to a tech to sort it out as I am a senior and on benefits.

    TIA

  3. Windows Setup - "Windows could not format a partition on disk 0. The error occurred while preparing the partition selected for installation. Error code: 0x80070001"

    I have a laptop that has no operating system installed on it, so I made a Windows 11 USB with the media creation tool for Windows 11 on a different laptop and I tried booting up the laptop with the USB into the setup for Windows 11, and so during the Windows 11 installation, I got this error: "Windows could not format a partition on disk 0. The error occurred while preparing the partition selected for installation. Error code: 0x80070001". How do I fix this and successfully install Windows 11 on that laptop?

    Hello John, how are you?

    My name is Paloma B., I am very happy to be able to try to help you in the best possible way.

    I understand that you had problems installing Windows.

    Try formatting the disk using diskpart and see if the problem persists.

    First start the Windows installation and go to the screen to select the installation location, after that perform the procedure below.

    1. Press SHIFT+F10 to open the command prompt;

    2. Type the commands below and at the end of each one press Enter:

    diskpart

    list disk

    select disk 0 (Change the number 0 by the number of the disk where you want to install Windows as listed in the previous command)

    clean

    create partition primary

    exit

    exit

    3. Click Update and you will see that a new partition has been created on the disk;

    4. Select the partition and proceed with Windows installation.

    I await news.

    If these procedures helped you in any way, please click on "I solved my problem" and also mark as an answer, so you can help others users.

    We will always be available for whatever you need!
