Hi friends! Yesterday on our site you could read an article about the error "", emerging in the initial phase of installation of Windows 10. We figured out that this error occurs if the installation of the system occurs on the hDD GPT markings, with the interface UEFI in BIOS is disabled. Error will disappear if you enable the option in the computer biosUEFI, because on the disk GPT system can only be installed when UEFI is enabled.But you need to know what if you turn onUEFI and want to further install Windows 10 to a regular hard disk with the main boot entry of the MBR, then you will have another error"Installing Windows on this disc Impossible. On this disk there is a table of MBR-partitions " . How to be in this case?

Installing Windows for this disc is not possible. On this disk there is a MBR-partition table

For example, take a regular computer and turn on the interface on it. UEFI,

and then try to install Windows to the usual HDD with the MBR markup table, will immediately come out

warning "Unable to install Windows in section 1 disk 0. (Show details)"

If you click on a warning, the error will be released.« Installing Windows for this disc is not possible. On this disk there is a MBR-partition table».

From this error it is very easy to get rid of, turning off the UEFI interface in the BIOS. But if for some reason the UEFI you need, then simply convert a hard disk from the MBR style in GPT and continue the installation of OS. This can be done in two ways.

1. In the installation program operating system We allocate alternately each partition on the disk 0 and select "Delete". Be careful. If you have several disks in the system, for example, there is another disk 1, you do not need to delete sections on it.

When all partitions on the hard disk are deleted and it will represent one unallocated space, then select this space with the left mouse button and click on the "Next" button

The usual process of installing Windows to your computer will begin.

2. The second method.

In the system installation window, open the command line with a keyboard combination SHIFT + F10.

In the command line, we enter the command:

diskpart.

Hello Admin! Question how to install Windows 10 on a portable GPT USB hard drive, which will be loaded on a laptop in UEFI mode?

I have new laptop with BIOS UEFI and installed windows 8.1. There is also a portable USB hard drive and I want to install Windows 10 on it.

Note: I need to be 10 installed on the USB external disk, had an independent loader and if I disconnect portable winchester USB. From the laptop, then Windows 8.1 would simply be loaded on it. But if I connect an external USB disk to your or someone's laptop, then it would be loaded on it with Windows 10, as a portable operating system. Is it possible?

How to install Windows 10 on a portable GPT USB hard drive, which will be loaded on a laptop in UEFI mode

Hi friends! Make it is very simple, we will use the Aomei Partition Assistant Standard Edition program and the command line, which is difficult to work on the command line, at the end of the way the method of applying the WinNTSetup utility is shown.

For example, we take a new laptop with installed Windows 8.1 and the UEFI BIOS, also take a portable USB hard disk with a volume of 1 TB and install Windows 10 on it.

On the external USB disk, Windows 10 will have a separate independent bootloader and to load Win 10 we will need to simply select a portable USB hardware laptop on the laptop download menu, and Windows 8.1 will be downloaded on the laptop. Installed on USB-portable Hard windows disk 10 can be used as a portable system, it will start almost on any laptop with the UEFI interface enabled.

Disc control of laptop

Disc 0 is a hard disk of a laptop with Windows 8.1 installed, GPT style.

Disc 1 is a portable USB hard disk with a volume of 1 TB, the MBR style (you will need to convert to GPT)

There is a section of 29.30 GB on a portable rigid disk, here and install Windows 10.

If you do not have such a partition, you can create, we have already done it in previous articles and we have on this topic, please read. To install Windows 10, there is enough partition with a volume of 29.30 GB, you can create a section of any size.

After creating a section on which we will install Windows 10, we convert a portable USB hard drive from the MBR to GPT, for this use the Aomei Partition Assistant Standard Edition program, the conversion will occur without deleting files located on the USB portable Winchester.

In the main window of the program allocate the left mouse portable USB Winchester and click on the button"Convert to GPT"

"OK"

"Apply"

"Go"

"Yes"

Conversion process.

Conversion external disk USB successfully completed.

"OK"

Now you need to delete the partition on which we will install Windows 10, in my case disk (G :)

Select the left mouse section, which we will install Windows 10 and click on the button"Deleting a section."

Quickly delete the section.

"OK"

"Apply"

"Go"

"Yes"

The deletion operation of the section is successfully completed.

"OK"

The section is removed and an unallocated space was formed instead.

We run the command line on behalf of the administrator and create two partitions on unallocated space:

1. Cipherled (EFI) system section 100 MB (on this section will place Windows 10 download files).

2. MSR service section 128 MB required in markup EFI.

We enter the commands:

diskpart.

lIS DIS (withdraw a list of disks).

sEL DIS 1 (choose a portable USB Winchester).

cREATE PAR EFI SIZE \u003d 100 (Create an encrypted (EFI) system section 100 MB).

format FS \u003d FAT32 (format it in file System FAT32).

creat Par MSR SIZE \u003d 128 (Create a section MSR 128 MB)

Return to the main window of the Aomei Partition Assistant program and click on the "Restart" button

We highlight the mouse remaining unassigned space and click on the "Creating section" button

"OK"

"Apply"

"Go"

"Yes"

"Yes"

Creating a section from unallocated space has been successfully completed.

"OK"

The created section is assigned a letter (G :).

Download the Microsoft ISO image on the Microsoft website.

Click on the image double-clicking left mouse and ISO image joins as virtual drive.

The letter of the virtual drive (M :).

IN ISO-image Windows 10 We need a folder"Sources. ", And in it, the install.wim file with Windows 10.

DISM / Get-Wiminfo /Wimfile :M :\\Sources\\Install.wim (This command we define the number of Windows images in the Install.wim file - in the install.wim file, there may be several Windows images and each image has its own index. In our case, the image is one -Windows 10 Single Language 64bit and His Index 1)

DISM / Apply-image /ImageFile :M: Used / index: 1 / Applydir: G: (we unfold this command Windows 10 Single Language 64bit from fileinstall.wim on the section (G :).

M: \\ Sources \\ install.wim - location Find Install.wim.

index: 1 is an index image of windows 10 Single Language.

G: - The letter of the section that will unfold Win 10.

The operation has been successfully completed.

Now it remains to create download files for Windows 10 (Disk G :) on the encrypted (EFI) system section 100 MB

Run the command line on behalf of the administrator and enter the command:

diskpart.

lis Vol. (Displays a list of disks).

sEL VOL 11 (Select the encrypted (EFI) system section 100 MB)

assign Letter V (We assign him a disk letter (V :)

eXIT (exit from diskpart)

bCDBOOT G: \\ Windows / S V: ( this command means - create a bootloader for Windows located on a volume (G :), and download files to place on the volume (v :))

Download files successfully created!

Important note: We create a bootloader in a working systeminstalled on GPT (UEFI mode), so The team looks like this:

bCDBoot G: \\ Windows / S V:

but if we created the bootloader in the system installed on the MBR (Legacy mode) that team would be like this:

bCDBOOT G: \\ Windows / S V: / F UEFI

If working in winNTSetup program, It is all the same for it that in UEFI, that in Legacy.

Restart the laptop and enter its boot menu.

Select to download a portable USB hard drive.

There is an installation of devices.

The final phase of installation of Windows 10 begins.

If you do not have licensed key, click "Make later"

We accept the license agreement.

You can connect to the Internet now, and you can "skip this step"

You can click the "Use Standard Settings" button, and you can configure them manually on this article: .

Invent the name of the local account.

Windows 10 is loaded with portable hard disk USB.

The operating system is installed on (C :) Portable USB Hard Drive and has its own separate loader located the first hidden (EFI) 100 MB system section.

Conclusion

Friends, almost everything we did in the article using the command line, you can do a very simple utility.

Download and run WinNTSetup

In the main window of the program, we need to specify Windows 10 files, or rather the Install.wim file is located in the M: \\ Sources folder. Click choose.

We find in the conductor a file M: \u200b\u200b\\ Sources \\ Install.wim and click to open.

Select the disc to which the bootloader will be installed.

In the operating window that opens, we select the USB portable rigid disk - encrypted (EFI) system section of 100 MB (z :) drive letter, as we see, there is also an encrypted (EFI) system section 256 MB of a rigid notebook, you cannot choose it If we want to have a separate loader for Win 10.

Select the disk to which Windows 10 will be installed.

Select the disk (G :) and click on the Collect Folder button.

Installation

Loader Select UEFI and click OK

The unpacking of the image of Windows 10 begins.

Ready! OK.

We choose to download a portable USB hard drive, and then you already know what to do.

Articles on this topic:

In recent years, the release of computers has begun on which the outdated BIOS initial I / O system has changed motherboards with a fundamentally new type of firmware of a long-term storage device. This type has an abbreviated name UEFI and has a graphical interface similar to Windows, a more resistant duplication system and restore loading data, internal anti-virus protection and the ability to use computer mouse. It was required due to an increase in the production of hard drives with a volume of over two terabytes and an enhanced partition type (GPT) that are not supported by BIOS. To administer the loader, the built-in UEFI-BOOT utility is used, resembling the BIOS structure and significantly accelerating launch of the laptop or stationary computer. When installing Windows 10 on a UEFI computer, a USB media adapted to upgraded loading is used.

UEFI setup before installing Windows 10 from flash card

UEFI is a graphical interface that is responsible for the preloading environment of the operating system.

UEFI is inherently replacing the outdated basic BIOS I / O system, which not one decade was successfully applied to computer technologies. The world does not stand still, but moves forward with seven-year steps, so it's time to part with the old proven "friend, which has repeatedly helped in the event of various problems. Created in 2005 and improved over the past ten years "Expandable Embedded Software Interface" Much more complies with the requirements of the modern hardware of computers. The need for its implementation has arisen for a long time, and now all new models of personal computers are issued with the installed UEFI.

Laptop running or desktop computer The UEFI-BOOT boot program is similar to the BIOS begins to start when the computer is turned on windows startup 10. With its support, there are a survey of all components and modules that defines their readiness to work, and then the Windows 10 itself is checked. The license code of the program that does not allow the viruses to change the bootloader and install pirate copies of Windows 10, can be located in a short-term storage device built-in In the motherboard, in the hidden area of \u200b\u200bthe Winchester or in its own network storage. Managing and debugging UEFI is elementary to use and adapted to create maximum user convenience.

If you have an idea of \u200b\u200bdebugging BIOS, problems with the UEFI setup will not arise:

After performing such an action algorithm, you can start installing Windows 10.

Conversion of the MBR drive in the GPT drive

Before converting the MBR disk to the GPT disk, reboot the entire information block to the removableflash card because all the data will be. After conversion, the entire information block is overwritten back to the hard drive.

To convert the hard drive with MBR-partitions in GPT sections, two methods are used:

1. Using the interpreter diskpart.exe:
   
2. With the help utility "Disk Management":
   

It is absolutely optionally to convert a hard drive when installing Windows 10. Just turn off the UEFI parameter "Safe Load" and install the "ten" from a conventional flash drive. All the usefulness of the GPT table is that it supports drives with a volume of over two terabytes, therefore, if the disk is less volume, it does not make sense to transform it.

Creating a UEFI flash card for installing Windows 10

To install Windows 10 from the flash card, you must first assign a bootable priority in UEFI. There is a choice of primary loading for both the hard drive with the MBR-partitions and the hard drive with the GPT table. To assign the priority in UEFI, the transition to the "load priority" block is shown and flash card with installations windows files 10.

Creating a bootable flash card supporting UEFI

In cases where the bootable flash card for Windows 10 is created in the MediaCreationTool program, Microsoft Corporation Product, FAT32 File Placement Table Structure is automatically formed. The program simply does not offer any other options, immediately making the universal flash card. Using it, you can install "dozens" on standard hardwore with BIOS or UEFI. There is no difference.

If the computer is integrated on the computer that supports the UEFI interface, only media formatted according to the FAT32 standard is allowed to implement Windows 10.

There is another option to create a universal flash card using the Console of the Command Line Administrator. The algorithm of actions in this case will be like this:

1. Run the "Run" service through the "Standard" services in the Start button menu.
2. Dial the following commands and confirm them with the Enter key:

Download from the Microsoft website with the ISO-way "dozens".

Double-click the image file, opening it and simultaneously connecting to the virtual drive.

Having allocating all files and image directories, copy them by pressing the "Copy" button.

Insert everything into the free area of \u200b\u200bthe flash card.

Copy the files on the free space of the flash drive

On this process of forming a universal boot flash card completed. You can start installing "dozens".

Removable drive Prepared for installation Windows 10

The created universal flash card will be bootable as for computers with base system BIOS I / O, and for those where UEFI is integrated.

Creating a flash card only for computers with MBR sections that support UEFI

A quick creation of a bootable flash card for Windows 10, installed on a computer with support for UEFI, provides for the use of third-party software. One of these programs is RUFUS. It is widespread enough among users and has proven itself well. Its main disadvantage is the impossibility of creating a universal boot flash card. Does not provide for installation on the hard drive. Allows you to perform a wide range of operations:

• carry out flashing BIOS chip;
• generate a bootable flash card using the ISO image of "dozens" or systems such as Linux;
• apply on devices with an unidentified operating system;
• conduct low-level formatting.

To form a loading flash card using RUFUS previously downloaded software from the site of the developer.

When forming a flash card for a computer that supports UEFI, with a hard drive having the MBR sections, the following procedure:

Video: How to use the program RUFUS

Creating a flash card only for computers with GPT table supporting UEFI

When forming a flash card for a computer that supports UEFI, with a hard drive having a GPT boot table, you need to apply the following procedure:

The RUFUS program is constantly being improved and updated by the manufacturer. New version Programs can always be obtained on the official developer website.

So that there are no problems with creating boot media, You can resort to a more effective option for the recovery "dozens". To do this, install the system you need to spend from Microsoft. At the end of the installation, the system itself will propose to create an emergency recovery vehicle. Specify in the selection of media flash card and wait for the end of creating a copy. For any failures, spend restoration system parameters without deleting documents and installed applications. In this case, it will not be necessary to repeatedly activate the system product, which interferes with the user constantly pop-up reminders.

Standard errors that occur when installing Windows 10 on the GPT disk

When installing the hard drive with GPT sections of the family Windows last Generations - versions 7, 8 and 10 - problems arise related to incorrectly selected settings of the installation.

The first error is the user's attempt to install 32-bit drive windows version 10, which is incompatible with GPT disks. As a consequence, UEFI enters the installation restriction and stops writing files to a hard drive. You can correct this error using when installing Windows 10 64-bit version that is perceived by UEFI.

Second error - an attempt to install on windows computer 10 When the UEFI is turned off. To enable it, you need to set the desired parameters for the bootloader. Depending on the manufacturer, the interface of the basic operating system may differ, but in any version of the UEFI they are present.

To enable UEFI mode, you need to set the correct parameters for the bootloader

To enable UEFI mode, follow a number of actions.

When installing a new operating room windows systems 10 Users may encounter refusal to install, which is accompanied by the message that the selected disk has GPT sections style.

As in this case, convert disk MBR In GPT and on the contrary, when installing Windows 10?

What is the type of disk partitions to select for Windows 10?

If during the installation of Windows 10, the selected disk gives an error that concerns the correctness of the selection style selection of the device, it is first to determine the topical version of the volumes for your PC. There are two ways to determine:

• If you have new computer with UEFI interface, then when entering bIOS settings You can control the mouse, and not just the keyboard. The graphical interface is color, not blue with white letters. In this case, you need to correctly install Windows 10 on the GPT disk.
• If you have the old computer and you have changed components for a long time, the BIOS has a standard blue interface, you will need to convert GPT style in the MBR and only after that it will be possible to install Windows 10 on a hard disk.

Installing Windows 10 to the GPT disk with the UEFI interface

Making Windows 10 installation on GPT disk - difficult process. To fulfill it, you need to adhere to two recommendations, namely:

Installing the 64-bit version of the system.

To execute the first condition, you need to make changes to the BIOS UEFI settings. To do this, reboot the PC and continuously press "F2" or "DEL" (there may be other keys, which depends on the model motherboard). Next, we carry out the following recommendations:

• Go to the Bios Features section or BIOS Setup.. Test download from UEFI, not with CSM.

• IN sATA mode Indicate instead of IDE, AHCI environment. Usually this setting is in the Peripherals section.

• We save the changes and reboot the computer.

After you have saved all changes, the computer will be ready to install Windows 10 and format partitions. Performing this process from the disk, the likelihood of error is low. If you use the drive for this purpose, you should write the image again so that it supports the UEFI interface.

IMPORTANT! Create a USB flash drive in UEFI can only be for 64-bit versions of operating systems.

You can create such a flash drive via a command line with administrator rights. To do this, perform the following actions. Click "Win + R" and enter "CMD".

1. diskpart.
2. lIST DISK.
3. sELECT DISK.

Select a flash drive to which the image of dozens will be recorded. We prescribe alternately following commands:

1. sELECT DISK N.
2. clean.
3. cREATE PARTITION PRIMARY.
4. format FS \u003d FAT32 Quick
5. active.
6. assign.
7. list Volume

After performing these actions, you need to mount the ISO image in the system by clicking on the file and selecting the "Connect" item. Next, we allocate the content virtual disk And send it to the USB flash drive.

Now install Windows 10 C USD or from the disk.

How to convert GPT to MBR to install Windows 10

If the installation of Windows 10 and format sections appears a refusal due to the inconsistency of the GPT style, you must convert the disk without UEFI in the MBR.

At the selection selection stage during the installation of the operating system, you should perform the following steps:

• Press "SHIFT + F10". Opens command line. We enter "diskpart", and then - "List Disk" to display the list of connected drives.
• Next, enter the SELECT DISK N, where n is the disk number that must be converted.
• To clean the hard disk completely, enter "Clean". If you want to delete only partitions, use the "Detail Disk" commands, then SELECT VOLUME and DELETE VOLUME.
• To convert, enter "Convert MBR".
• To complete, enter "EXITE".

If you converted partitions at the disc setup phase, you need to click the Update button. Further installation on the MBR will be launched in the usual mode and the error will not happen again.
