I'm trying to install Windows 8.1 from a USB 3.0 on my Samsung Notebook. Everything is wiped clean and the BIOS settings are default. I have now just moved the boot order to boot first from USB HDD and have manually made a 100GB partition with DISKPART. When I refresh the Windows 8 installer it shows this newly created partition yet displays this error message:
“We couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one. For more information, see the Setup log files”
I have tried virtually all the fixes that I've been able to come across to no avail. I have a feeling it is something to do with the GPT tables but I'm not familiar with those.
I would appreciated a solution very much and will watch this closely.
