I am unable to install Windows 8. I have tried installing from a USB 2.0 flash drive, and a USB DVD drive (the all-in-one desktop doesn't not boot from DVD's when I put the DVD when I put the dvd inside of the computer .)whenever I get to the section of the installation where I choose which hard drive I woild like to install Windows 8 onto, i get the following message:
"We couldn’t create a new partition or locate an existing one. For more information, see the Setup log files."
I have tired the followong commands in the command line with no luck.
Start DISKPART
Type LIST DISK and identify your HDD disk number (from 0 to n disks).
Type SELECT DISK <n> where <n> is your HDD disk number.
Type LIST PARTITION
Type SELECT PARTITION <n> where <n> is your partition number of the last drive (Drive 0 Unallocated Space 20 Gb)
Type CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
Type ACTIVE
Type FORMAT FS=NTFS QUICK
Type ASSIGN
Type EXIT twice (one to get out of DiskPart, the other to exit the command line tool)
I have also tried disabling the audio and LAN controllers in the BIOS, with no luck. There are no other devices connected to the computer. No SD cards, or other USB drives. I am not sure what to do. Can anyone please help me?
