Error Window 10 setup: We couldn't create a new partition [0x80070017]

Question

I use USB boot to install Win10. It'd work fine for many PC but this one. 

The box show "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu." and after I click new, the box "We couldn't create new partition" [0x80070017]

I tried to change the Sata controller in IDE configtion but there are 3 options: Enhanced, compatible, disable, no sight of "ACHI"

I really dont know what to do.

Hi, I'm Greg, an installation specialist, 10 year Windows MVP, and Volunteer Guardian Moderator here to help you.

Is there a newer BIOS update to get AHCI optimal install choice? If not choose Compatible. You do not want IDE anything in 2019!

I will give you all possible steps to troubleshoot installation failure which work in about 90% of cases. If not we'll go from there:

Follow the illustrated Clean Install steps in this tutorial which compiles the best possible install that will stay that way as long as you stick with the tools and methods given: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki...

Make sure all other drives and peripherals are unplugged. Update the BIOS or UEFI firmware to latest, or reset to Defaults, making sure SATA controller is set to AHCI: https://www.mydigitallife.net/comprehensive-lis...

Create the latest new Windows 10 Installation Media by installing Media Creation Tool and following the directions here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/m.... If you're using another PC to do this then uncheck the box for Recommended Settings to choose the exact version and bit rate for the target PC only.

Insert media, boot it by powering up PC while pressing the BIOS Boot Menu Key: https://www.sysnative.com/forums/hardware-tutor...

Choose the boot device, on first screen press Shift + F10 to open a Command Prompt, type the following commands, each followed by Enter key:

DISKPART

LIST DISK

SEL DIS # (replace # with the disk # of the Windows disk from list in previous command)

CLEAN

EXIT

Close Command Box, on second screen choose Install Now, then Custom Install, then at the drive selection screen choose Unallocated Space, click Next to let it create needed partitions and start install - this makes it foolproof.

Make sure to follow the setup steps in the first link tutorial to complete your install. Drivers are important enough that those steps are printed in red.

You will get and keep the best possible install to the exact extent you stick with the steps, tools and methods in the first linked tutorial. It's a better install than any amount of money could buy and a great learning experience that will make you the master of your PC.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.

Answer 2

Hi Faraway,

80070017 ==> Data error (cyclic redundancy check).

It may be a bad media or destination disk.

Set SATA mode to AHCI, not IDE which is the ideal configuration.

Try making the media again.

Answer 3

set to enhanced . disable Uefi mode and enable legacy mode in bios.

another method is there to solve this,  windows 10 deployment method.

Answer 4

Thanks for your response!

But Like I said, no sight of "AHCI"
