Hello, I bought an SSD nvme to add to the HDD of my wife’s Legion Y530-15ICH. The computer had a Windows Home installation gone bad after an update, as it was only producing a black screen.
So, I installed Windows 11 after downloading it from the Microsoft website, I managed to log in and retrieve the access, I get notified of the updates available, and start with the first one.
Upon the necessary reboot, guess what? New black screen.
So, as the installation was new anyway, I hadn’t struggle yet to reinstall programs and configurations, I had just downloaded the appropriated NVidia drivers, I decided to reinstall, because knowing how difficult it was to solve hat blank screen (we’ve been trying to fix it on the original HDD for a long time) it seemed the easiest solution. Well, the error "There is an error selecting this partition for install" on the nmve appeared.
I was tired, didn’t think about it much, and I wiped clean the disk in GParted on a Linux Mint live key.
Of course, with no partition table it wasn’t working either, I got a 0xc0000225 error so I tried to rewrite it.
First on the Linux Terminal, but it didn’t work out, giving again the "There is an error selecting this partition for install" error.
I tried then within cmd.exe during the installation, but I wasn’t able to solve anything, having again the same error prompted.
At the same time, it appeared a the Startup repair a window with all the installation attempts.
I don’t know if this creates problems, but likely so.
Can anyone help me out to go out of this mess?
A friend suggested to wipe clean both HDD and SSD, having a big unallocated space each, and to start form there. I am afraid to do so, because I wiped clean the nvme drive and now I can’t select newly created partitions.
Thanks in advance.
