    Hello, I have a problem with the installation of a fresh Windows 10 disk drive or SSD (eventually the system is to be on ssd), none of them can not install windows 10 Home, the message "We could not create a new partition or locate an existing one, see the log installer file I admit I have never had such a problem, Windows 7 was freely given to Windows 10 in between the time the 512 GB adata disk was purchased and the same message pops up, whether it is a driver problem that the system can not create a partition and install system ?, I will be grateful for the light in the tunnel?

    I read on Microsoft's forum that it helps to reset the BIOS by jumper or battery, check it out only in the evening, why it would help, could some settings have been saved and only such a reset helps?

    What carrier do you install the system from? I was similar to the installation with the pendriva, but the installation from the external DVD drive went, it also went from the memory card in the reader.
    If you are installing from a pen, change the USB ports (from USB3 to USB2).

    From the screen I do not see on which disk you want to create a new partition, because there are no empty spaces. I suspect that the problem may be that the partitions on a given disk are in MBR or GPT and the installer wants the opposite. The second reason is the inability to create new partitions if the limits of the number of primary and extended partitions are reached, even if there is unallocated space on the disk.
    Provide more data, some disk management dump, or in the installer, first delete all partitions from the selected disk.

    The MBR boot sector was a problem, I fixed it in a hard disk manager paragon and the installation went, for now there is only one thing that surprises me, the system disk is in the tray on the right side of the beam and can be ejected, i.e. there is an option, but after selecting it it does not happen, the pendrive always goes out and disconnects physically, someone knows what's going on, the system disk should not be visible there.

    This is probably related to write caching.

    For me, the problem with this message created a card reader seen as disk1 only caused that I discovered this command disk list in diskpart after pressing shift + F10 from the cmd console under the 10th win. But just in case I used the clean command after selecting the select disk X command - this is the disk number. And I will tell you that it worked with the answer for the time of installation of the card reader. Like a ridiculous reader, and what's in the head.

    The MBR boot sector was a problem, I fixed it in a hard disk manager receipt and the installation started.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around issues encountered during the installation of Windows 10 on a new SSD or HDD, specifically the error message "We could not create a new partition or locate an existing one." Users suggest potential causes, including partition format discrepancies (MBR vs. GPT) and limitations on the number of partitions. Solutions proposed include changing the installation medium (USB vs. DVD), resetting BIOS settings, and using disk management commands in the command prompt to clean or format the disk. One user resolved the issue by fixing the MBR boot sector using Paragon Hard Disk Manager. Additionally, concerns about the visibility of the system disk in the tray and write caching were discussed.
