I was having a small issue installing windows.
After entering the windows installation screen. I deleted the two partitions and merged into 1. But i was unable to install windows. I got this message when i tried to install windows on the hard drive.
"Windows Cannot be Installed to Disk 0 Partition 1"
It was telling me to disable the disk controller in the bios. I searched the bios but didn't see anything related to disk controller.
I did see something called diskette controller. I disabled that but no success.
It also told me i something about my drive needed to be nfts, because my hard drive was gps?
Unfortunately, i didn't save the message. So i can't show anyone.
But anyways i searched online and thankfully i was able to find a solution as something had the same problem as me.
The solution is in the bios:
Go under the
"security" tab
then "System Security"
then "disable" the "Data Execution Prevention"
After that you will be able to normally install windows.
Here are the sources that helped me:
