WE7 installation: setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an exis
Dear Members,
I created a Windows 7 embedded image for an ATOM PC (vendor: IEI)
To install the image I used a Windows PE CD.
After windows PE boots I divided the disk (14GB) into 2 partitions with diskpart:
select disk 0
clean
create partition primary size=7000
create partition primary
select partition 1
active
exit
Then I ran setup.exe.
When I got the screen where I should select the installation partition I chose the first one marked as "system".
But then I got the message:
setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. See the setup log files for more information
I also tried creating the partitions during the installation and got the same results.
Where are the "setup log files" located ?
The image was created using a PMQ file. I ran tap.exe under Windows 7 enterprise.
Under Windows 7 enterprise, I opened the device manager and saw the disk:
Disk Drives
SanDisk SSD U100 16GB ATA Device
According to the device manager, the drivers required for this disk are:
Disk.sys
Partmgr.sys
Is it possible that those basic drivers are not included in my image ?
Thanks,
Zvika
