We get an error "could not create a new partition or find existing. "For more information, see the Setup log file" error message "while trying to install Windows 8

* Original title: 8 victory moved - Error Message: failed to create new partition...

I have Win XP on my Dell Dimension 5150, which is the dual boot with Linux Mint 12 Lisa and this is my favorite of the bunch.

I bought the DVD of 8 Pro Windows by an Australian retailer.

Win XP is on a 39 GB partition with other application files. I had to delete several files to get the free space necessary to WIN 8 and finally finished by formatting the partition and passes for a COMPLETE new installation.

Unfortunately, I now get the "failed to create new partition or find existing. For more information, see the Setup log file"error message. I can't find a Setup log file that I do a boot from the DVD.

I tried to delete all external drives and other USB devices, including my Modem but my Wired USB keyboard/mouse.

Two internal HARD drives are as follows:
Disk 0 Partition 1-110 GB - system (LINUX)
Disk 0 Partition 2 - 3.5 GB - logical

Disk 1 Partition 1 - 47 MB - OEM (reserved) [DellUtility]
Disc 1 2:Win - 39.1 GB - System Partition
1 3 disk partition: DATA - 39,1 GB - logical
Disk partition 1 4:OfficeProgs - 19.5 GB - logical
Partition on drive 1 logical - 39.1 GB - 5:PROJECTS
etc to score 8 with 9 MB of unallocated space.

I have tried both 64 and 32 discs with the same result.

As I have now is no longer no matter what Windows on my computer, what's the next step? If any ;-)

Hello

I solved the problem. It seems that you can not install on a secondary partition with in an earlier version of windows. You must restart the computer and run the installation from a dvd or other media.  Once you get the installation running you should be able to install on another partition without any problems.

Nice day

  • Setup could not create a new partition system

    Ok.  I just built a new rig.  ASUS P55 intel chipset mobo.  I have two WD Caviar Black hard drives and a RAID-1 array.

    I installed my OEM WIN-7-64 operating system several times.  Mostly because my WUSB54GC Linksys adapter wireless crashes my OS WIN because of a compatibility problem.

    Long story short: the last time my OS crashed he would not be stopped, kept grinding and grinding so I stopped it "hard."  Then when I tried to restart it kept a black window stall without launching.  So I decided to start over with a clean install.

    Big mistake!

    When I got to the place where you want to install? I had onlyl only one possibility, I created a RAID-1 array with 1 TB WD caviar drives two of the screen.  Then, I started to FORMAT it the disc for the drive I want to install WIN 7-64 on.  That was the big mistake.  Previously, I was able to install WIN 7 several times, but after formatting the HARD drive, I received the message "Setup could not create a new partition system.  I can't find the logs and I tried all of the suggestions that I have found here and does not.

    I have an ASUS P55-Deluxe mobo with two 1 to WD Caviar black HDs in a matrix RAID-1.

    I tried to reinstall WIN 7, with the HDD BIOS on IDE.  It worked once in what concerns the installation of the OS, but whenever I try to recreate the RAID array, I get the bloody message "Setup could not create a new partition system!

    I tried using partition of drive on BACK in but nothing works.

    Of course, here, someone has the same problem and has a solution.

    Help, please!

    Hi Steve,.

    On another forum, I read to remove the battery from the motherboard and wait 10 minutes before turning.  Not only did it clears the CMOS memory, but "remains".  After that, I was able to partition my RAID-1 disk, format the partition, load my drivers and install WIN 7.

    Thanks for the quick response!

    Disconnect the SATA cables to all your drives except the drive hard that you plan to install Windows on and the DVD player. Also unplug all devices except for the keyboard and mouse enternal.

    Then, enter the BIOS and configure the DVD drive as the first boot device.

    Now try the reinstall.

    Hi sanjeevkode,

    Thank you for visiting the website of Microsoft Windows Vista Community.  As the question you posted typically associated with third party software / application that has its own way of program codes and call the corresponding system resources when installing and running. Therefore, I also suggest you to join the VMware Forums for the best support.

    VMware communities: http://communities.vmware.com/home.jspa

    In the meantime I suggest you try these options / methods

    IMPORTANT NOTE: Microsoft provides this information as a convenience to you. Proposed changes could lead to serious problems. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems would be solved as a result of the suggestions. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    Option 1: If you go to computer management, and then to the list of Services and find the VMware authorization Service, it appears as stopped? If so, you need to start

    Option 2: Try logging on as an administrator Local host during installation first workstation, rather than you connect with a domain ID

    Option 3: The question can be caused also by your security program such an antivirus or a firewall of Windows /Defender that can have conflicting parameters as to not not to perform certain tasks. I suggest you temporary disable antivirus and firewall and check the result again. You must enable security programs new that had disabled you

    Option 4: The problem could be linked to a local or domain group policy. Make sure that the local account is defined as 'local user __vmware_user__' in the local Administrators group and the permissions of "Log on locally" and "Log on as a service.

    The two parameters are available in the "* Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment *" branch of domain group policy or local.

    Let me know if it worked.
    Hope it will be useful.

  • Install Windows 7 on Dell laptop, error "Setup could not create a new partition system or locate an existing partition.

    I had Windows Vista ultimate on my Dell Studio laptop which consisted of 3 partitions (OS, recovery and OME).

    In order to complete a clean install, I deleted all partitions and create a new 1 and formatted it, but I am informed that the installation was unable to create a new partition system or locate an existing partition.

    I tried in IDE and ACHI, but neither enable Sir to go beyond that. I am booting from the CD with Windows 7.  If someone is able to help, they explain in layman's terms, as I am a relative novice.

    Thank you

    As the drive was provided by Dell, you need to talk with them.

    The disc could be waiting to see the things that you have deleted.

    It can also be a type of completely different facility than the normal installation of Microsoft discs.

    You would have more than likely been OK if you would leave the formatting alone and partitoning.
