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 folowed your steps perfectly and ten rebooted for the windows installation to begin, however I keep getting a message at start up that "No bootable disk was discovered".

    I cannot figure out why?

    I checked the contents of the C drive using the US stick and then pressing Shift + F10 an using the CMD prompt to enquire the status of te Disk and C drive.

    All was fine. The contents of the USB installtion pack hAD BEEN COPIED CORRECTLY and the disk was partitioned and formatted correctly.

    Can you suggest anything ?

  • So bummed I did everything exactly as told, it booted from the hard drive and thought I was golden but nope. Got the same messages. But this time when I rebooted, it acted like it was going to install, gave me the errors about can't find the partitions. Then when I went to reboot, now nothing is happening at all 🙁

  • This will probably work. The bad thing is that this is an obvious microsoft bug and not repaired up to windows 11. So i'll open my system and disconnect everything apart from the target disk. I need windows just because some software i need and for remote work. If not i never would install. this stuff

  • It can't get anymore simple than this. Thank you soo much howtobasic!

  • As I am struggling in the subject, I try to go through on old tutorials….When I proceed the file- copying, in the D : sources install.win ……it stops….!?! /however in the line xcopy d: c: /e /h /k is written, but "backslash" is mentioned….can have a role…??? Thanks…./if!?!/

  • It didnt work for me, but guess what, Here is an extra solution for people like me :
    Do an installation with windows xp (32 or whatever), it will fix this disk partition problem.
    After the installation of win xp, you can install any windows easily without problems.
    Thank me later

  • When i type create partition primary size=5000
    i get
    diskpart has encountered an error: the request could not be performed because of an I/O device error
    What can i do?

  • OMG! Thank you so much for helping us! This Still Works in June 2022. 👨‍💻🧠😁💓
