I updated my Xtreme to the F10a Bios update

It installed fine, but when it rebooted it wouldn't load windows. There was just a message that said:

Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key

I had experienced this before, but I was always able to get around it. I think by disabling something in the BIOS.

I happen to have a Windows 10 boot disk on a USB but in following the lovely internet I used diskpart and prematurely used the 'clean' command after selecting the windows drive :mad:

Slightly annoying but hardly the end of the world, I'll simply install windows again I thought.

But no. Every time I boot from the USB windows installer and get to the 'where you want to install windows' screen, I can see the correct drive has unallocated space on it, I can create a new disk partition, it won't let me install to the drive.

It just throws up another error:

We couldn't install Windows in the location you chose. Please check your media drive. Here's more info about what happened: 0x80300024.

This has been driving me mad for 2 hours. Any idea how I can solve it?

Have you removed all of the partitions of that drive?

I'd delete all partitions and not create new - let Windows do this. It has to make the recovery partition, etc. so it's best to let it do it.

I recall I had something like this, although I can't remember if I was on my main machine or one of my retro machines.

Turned out my main boot drive was not set to the primary drive. No idea why it wasn't but I got around it by removing all drives bar the boot one.
