✅ 【Detail】
⏰ 00:42 Method 1. Using USB 2.0 Storage Devices
Some users do report that they can't install Windows from a USB 3.0 device, they just need to replace it with USB 2.0 to solve the error, and this method is especially suitable for older computers.
⏰ 00:58 Method 2. Disconnect or Reconnect All External Devices
Some external devices such as external hard drives, headsets, and SD cards, may also cause the "We couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one" error. Therefore, you can try to disconnect or reconnect them.
⏰ 01:13 Method 3. Set the Partition
You can fix the error by setting the Windows partition to be installed as the primary partition via the diskpart in the command prompt.
1. Enter the Windows recovery mode by forcibly shutting down and then rebooting the computer twice.
2. Click Troubleshoot - Advanced Options - Command Prompt in order.
3. At the command prompt window, type diskpart and press Enter to execute this command.
4. Then type list disk and you will see a list of all available hard disks and find the one you need. Here is an example of disk 1, just type select disk 1.
5. Enter list partition again and you will see a list of all available partitions. Find the partition where you want to install Windows, for example, type select partition 1.
6. Type active and press Enter to execute the command.
7. Finally, type exit twice and press Enter.
⏰ 02:08 Method 4. Create a New Partition
When “We couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one.” appears, it means that your installed Windows system may become an additional operating system. In this case, you can create a new partition yourself by using the diskpart tool in the command prompt.
1. Open command prompt like the method 3.
2. Type list disk again, here I select disk 1 as the example.
3. Then enter the following commands in turn and press Enter.
clean
create partition primary
active
format fs=ntfs quick
assign
5. Finally, type exit twice and press Enter.
⏰ 03:04 Method 5. Change the Boot Order from BIOS
When your Windows computer recognizes the wrong boot device, it may also cause the error. To fix this, you need to change the boot order from BIOS and set the USB flash drive as the first boot device.
⏰ 03:18 Method 6. Converting Partition to GPT Format
Partition formats can affect the installation process of Windows 10 and Windows 11, where MBR format is only available for hard drives up to 2TB, while GPT has no capacity limit. Therefore, when you encounter the error, you can try to convert MBR format to GPT format using the diskpart tool.
⏰ 03:54 Method 7. Perform Universal Restore
1. Run AOMEI Backupper Professional on another computer that is running properly, first backup the system, and then create a bootable media.
2. Change the boot priority in BIOS and boot the local computer using bootable media.
3. At the interface of the software, switch to the Restore tab on the left side and tap Select Image File to find the system backup you have created.
4. If you want to restore the system image to a new hard drive, check the Restore system to another location checkbox in the lower-left corner.
5. In the Operation Summary window, confirm the operation you are going to perform and check the Universal Restore checkbox below, click the Start Restore button, and wait for the system restore to complete.
