So I was doing a clean install of windows 10 using a USB and I deleted all the partitions including the system reserve one. The only drive left now is "Drive 0 Partition 1". It is set as primary. 

The problem is everything I click to continue the installation, I get the error "We couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one."

I followed instructions from sites such as this, https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/asiasupp/2012/03/06/error-we-couldnt-create-a-new-partition-or-locate-an-existing-one-for-more-information-see-the-setup-log-files-when-you-try-to-install-windows-8-cp/ and I still got the same error.

I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could help.

Try this out:

Mother of God!! This worked!! Thank you so much. I've been at this for 2 day now. Thank you so much! 

I was actually thinking of buying a new laptop today. You deserve a prize and probably that money that I was going to use to buy the laptop.

Hello,

Let us know if this helps!

When I create the new partition, I didn't see a system reserve section get created as it did in your pictures.

So I formatted the partition as fat32 because my system is uefi based. However, when I return to install windows 10, I get an error that says "windows cannot be installed on this hard disk. Windows must be installed to a partition formatted as NTFS" 

However, when I format the partition as NTFS, I get the same error.

At the custom advanced window, do the following:

Press Shift + F10 on your keyboard

type the following commands

DISKPART

Hit Enter

list volume

Next you will select the volume where you would like to install Windows 10

Type: select disk #

represents the number the volume

Type: clean

convert mbr

create partition primary

active

format quick fs=ntfs

exit

exit

Restart, then try again.

Unfortunately, that didn't work. Also, no other devices or SD cards are connected to my laptop and I'm using USB 2
