Program opening problem - previous help given

But I would need both USBs in at the same time, correct? If thats the case then I need to wait as I only have so many slots to use. It could take a long time communcating on this if you want to know more about my system.

No
Finish steam backup
Do driver backup to same drive.
When finished power off
Insert windows usb
boot to usb.
install windows.
When finished install back up usb and install drivers
or go to website of computer and download drivers. Windows will load basic drivers so you should get internet access.

Not if you know how to boot from usb.
If this is a brand name. E.G hp dell etc then make and serial number or service tag number.
If not Motherboard make and model is all that is needed

It wont let me download the media tool because it is asking for more space. What should I do now?

[PeterOz]

use your other laptop

You can create that now. Use option Create usb to use on another computer. 51 seconds in video

Its okay I backed up a huge folder in the flash drive I am using for steam backup and it freed up 16gb so it is running now and currentely saving media to flash.

[maramessi]

I dont have to delete windows after I create the media to flash, is that right? Just boot to USB?

[PeterOz]

Correct
Boot to usb
When you get to the part that says where do you want to install windows
delete all partitions. Then choose unallocated space
It will create what it needs.
Sample pics attached - Yours will show more than 20gBb this is only a sample

[maramessi]

Custom install, right? Not upgrade?

[PeterOz]

Custom install

[maramessi]

I must have 2 physical drives in that machine because after deleting, 2 are left.

Drive 0 Unallocated space @ 119.2gb
Drive 1 Unallocated space @ 931.5gb

I can’t delete either of these 2.

[PeterOz]

Try this
Can you take a pic and post if not write down what you see
Press Shift + F10 key
you should get a X:> prompt
What is in blue you type in red you do
e.g Enter press enter key

[COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)]Diskpart [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]enter
[COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)]list disk [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]enter[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR]

[maramessi]

Here you go …

[PeterOz]

is this a pc - not a laptop

[maramessi]

No, its a laptop.

I know the guy I bought it from was messing about with things, I had to get USB connections repaired months ago and when he opened it up he noticed a few things that made him question who was working on it and why they were. So if your think something isnt quite right, there is a good chance thats the case.
