I’m new to community, I’m a Senior Management Information Systems major and I feel stupid that I can’t figure this problem out.
I recently bought a fairly new Dell Precision 5510 w/ Xeon cpu. I have a bootable USB ready to install Windows 10 but the problem is all drive partitions have been wiped and I used YUMI and TUX to try to partition the drives to NTFS format. YUMI did a better job w/ its GUI than TUX as TUX completely failed.
The USB drives w/ Gpart got to the GUI but failed shortly after selecting options.
I’m not sure what else I can do and I was hoping this bright community could steer me in the right direction.
Yes, I’ve tried that. The problem is that the four partitions, including the MBR, have all been wiped. I have tried installing Windows 10 first but it won’t allow me to select any of the formatted partitions (due to GPT issues). I have since tried to use Gparted to partition and format everything appropriately to allow for a regular install of Win 10, but I can’t even get it to load using YUMI or Tux. The laptop just prompts me to restart when I try to boot from the USB when using Gparted. Is there any other partitioning tool, paid or otherwise, that I could use via USB to format and partition these drives?
