Hi guys, I need some help here.
I wanted to reformat my pc with windows 10. Eventually when i wanted to install to the partition i want ©, it shows Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the gpt partition style.
But at the same time i accidentally formattted C as well. I had read about the way to install the windows is to go command prompt and remove all the partition. But the problem is i still need my partition (D).
Is there anyway to reinstall window in other way round instead or remove and clean all the partition

YES it CAN.

Updated :
When during boot menu, I have 2 choice of USB booting
1st is General Udisk 5
2nd is UEFI: General Udisk 5
which 1 should i choose?

Try turn off UEFI or EFI on bios

At the windows setup screen. Press SHIFT + F10 to open command prompt.

1. At the command prompt, type: Diskpart.exe.
2. At the DISKPART prompt, type: Select Disk 1. (Provided is disk 1)
3. At the DISKPART prompt, type: CLEAN ALL (The CLEAN ALL command removes all partition and volume information from the hard drive
being focused on.)
4. At the DISKPART prompt, type: Exit.
5. Reboot computer to continue with the normal installation.

The steps should clear all the disk partition.

If you're not sure. Google diskpart for more info.

Yes, there is a way.

I got the same problems on some motherboards with both IDE and SATA onboard. After disabling the IDE, all ok.

As i know a Windows 10 installation method provided by Microsoft, which is to use the Windows installation media.
