how to solve the error

see the setup log files for more information

hi friends this is Neil

thanks for clicking this video

this error message

setup was unable to create a new system partition

happens quite often when you install Windows system

using a USB drive

this error

is basically hardware dependent

and depends on your motherboard

USB interface USB stick using for installing

the OS and the version of Windows

but broadly main result of this error

is Windows cannot identify the disc

on which it should install the system partition

so I'll show you four methods to solve this error

lets begin with method 1

to make it easy for Windows

to identifying the disc

remove all the additional storage devices

that you have used

like SD card internal external hard disk USB drives

all of them just only keep those devices

that are required for installing the OS

that is your USB pen drive

and the drive in which you're installing Windows

after doing that Windows should be able to

identify your disk properly

for installation of the system partition

if this method doesn't work

now let's start with method two

in this step you will remove the USB pen drive

when you receive the error message

on this screen now remove your USB pen drive

and then

click the cross icon

it will ask you to confirm

whether you want to close the windows installation

click on yes

and then start the installation

from beginning by clicking on install now

at this stage you might receive an error

indicating the medium is not present

just ignore that error and click okay

click I except agreement

click on next then select custom installation

and now reinsert the USB pen drive

and then click on next at this stage you shouldn't

receive the error message any longer

and Windows installation should continue in normally

if still this doesn't work then it means that

the USB drive is not compatible to install Windows

so let's go to method three

we have to use a USB drive

which is generic in nature

and is a USB 2.0 device

use any non branded USB pen drive

not Kingston not SanDisk

but any cheap generic USB 2.0 device

and reinstall the Windows setup on it

then try again using that

I spent one hour stuck and out of all the tutorials I watched and read, this is the only of one that helped. Thank you very much man

Thank you very much, you are a life saver, after more than 10 days of struggling with my laptop I got my windows back(it wasn't just about this problem but this one was the last one)...you are the only one who suggected the last solution and it worked like a charm, cant thank you enough.

[phatclimber]

Wooohooo
Last method worked fine, love you!!!

[Jeffreybest]

THANKS ! THE LAST METHOD WORKED VERY WELL ! YOU ARE THE BEST

[siawashpopal]

This is so much better than other videos on this problem. Those suggest cleaning the disk, which led me to selecting the specific partition and typing clean in command prompt, and lost all of my data. This way it actually solves the problem at the ROOT. Thank you!

the 2nd method works!
i'm using bootable usb win 7 anyway.
in my case, if you encounter cannot create partition bla bla...
unplug the installation usb
cancel installation and return main screen
select "install now"
setup will asked missing drivers
plug the installation usb, and browse it (just for sure)
return to select partition hdd screen, format it
click next,
it worked!!!
Thank you very much for your tutorial, it helps a lot.

You are a life saviour!!! Thank you much. Method 4 worked for me.

Spot on video! Not one other told me I could partition my drive, copy the files and run it from the primary disk itself. Worked flawlessly, thanks!

You sir are a lifesaver! I have been pulling my hair out for the last 12 hours trying to get Windows 7 Ultimate to install! You have earned a subscriber good sir :P

[ianmilne]

Brilliant! so well explained ...much simpler than other offerings. Thanks very much!

[becketosan]

Started with a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate .Methods 1, 2, and 3 were no goes. Method 4 worked like a charm on my netbook. Upgraded to Windows 10 Pro. You saved me from committing myself. I will subscribe. LOL
