Установка Windows на этот диск невозможна: как устранить эту ошибку

Многие сталкивались с такой ошибкой при попытке установки операционных систем семейства Windows на x86-совместимые компьютеры.

Среди самых распространенных причин возникновения такой ошибки – установка на диск, на котором установлена GPT или же установка на ПК, в котором отсутствует UEFI BIOS. Эти явления могут возникать не только на 7й версии этой операционной системы, но и на Windows 10.

Диски могут быть в MBR или в GPT. Елси ранее на ПК была установлена Windows 7, то это одна из причин проблемы.

Если не вдаваться в подробности, то устранить данную проблему можно преобразованием диска из GPT в поддерживаемую Windows MBR. Для этого есть несколько способов.

А вот так выглядит эта ошибка.

Использование командной строки

Очень важно помнить, что данное преобразование подразумевает полное форматирование диска. Прежде чем это делать, стоит подумать, действительно ли это необходимо и есть ли на диске какая либо важная информация

The Popularity of Windows 7

Are you a Windows 7 user? How do you think of it? According to netmarketshare, Windows 7 holds the first place of desktop operating system market share, with an overwhelming proportion that reaches up to 49.42% (March 2017). This demonstrates that Windows 7 is still the most popular operating system around desktop users world-wide, despite that Microsoft is aggressively pushing Windows 10 . Since so many users are choosing Windows 7, it is important to have professional partition magic for Windows 7 so that users can manage their hard drives better.

And in today’s post, what we are going to introduce is two pieces of partition manager software.

Why MiniTool Partition Wizard Server

Developed by MiniTool Software Ltd., Partition Wizard possesses powerful functions including Create Partition, Merge Partition, Resize Partition, Copy Partition, Delete Partition, Format Partition, Wipe Partition, Recover lost Partition, Convert File System, etc. To discover the full features of Partition Wizard, you can experience the FREE Demo Edition and then determine whether or not you need it.

Besides, Partition Wizard is compatible with all editions of Windows Server 2000, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10, both 32 bit and 64 bit..

Furthermore, this program supports file systems like FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, Ext2*, and Ext3* (File systems marked with * indicate users can only execute limited functions like Create Partition and Delete Partition.).

Due to the deficiency of Disk Management in Server 2003, this tool is honored as the best partition software for Server 2003, for it overcomes difficulties that Disk Management can not complete, such as extending Server partition without adjacent unallocated space. We will show you the vast difference.

Difference between LBA and CHS

As we know, our data is saved on hard disk in sectors. When we want to find the specified data, sector addressing mode helps us to specify the locations of the data stored on computers. The following content will show something about the hard disk addressing.

CHS is an earlier form of hard disk addressing. It stands for:

• C: cylinder, the valid range is between 0 and 1023 cylinders.
• H: Head, the valid range is between 0 and 254 heads (formerly 0-15).
• S: Sector, the valid range is between 1 and 63 sectors.

Addressing Mode

From the full name of CHS, we can predicate how it specifies the location of blocks of data saved in the hard disk. For example, if hard drives are accessed through CHS, they are addressed by specifying its cylinder, head and sector address.

With LBA, each sector is assigned a unique number rather than referring to a cylinder, head, and sector to access the hard drive. Using it, the hard disk is simply addressed as a single, large device, which simply counts the existing blocks starting at 0.

In other words, LBA is a way by which a drive is accessed by linearly addressing sector addresses. Therefore, it seems that this addressing mode is simpler than that of CHS.

Note:

• LBA doesn’t allow to address more sectors than CHS style addressing does.
• In order to apply LBA, you should make sure it must be supported by both the BIOS and OS.
• The hard drive itself must support LBA as well. Luckily,all newer hard drives do in fact support LBA.

Even though CHS now no longer maintains a physical relationship with the disk’s actual characteristics, CHS is still used by many utilities.

Addressing Space

For CHS, the maximum number of cylinders supported is 1024, of heads is 16, and of sectors is 63, and the number of bytes per sector is 512. Therefore, the maximum capacity of the supported hard disk is 512 x 63 x 16 x 1024=528 MB.

Note: The capacity of hard disk is the product of the number of cylinders, heads, sectors and 512 bytes.

However, with the fast development of science and technology, the capacity of hard disks has been greatly increased. It is far beyond addressing range featuring 8 GB.

Therefore, how to address a space beyond 8 GB? The bit of CHS has expanded from 24 to 28 to get addressing space reaching 128 GB, and it seems that there’s nothing we can do about 2 TB disk capacity.

In this situation, generating a new form of hard disk addressing is a helpful solution, and the new one is LBA.

By contrast, logical block addressing (LBA) features a completely new method of addressing sectors. It can manage a hard drive space up to 8.4 GB. What’s more, the addressing space can reach up to 144,000,000 GB by using 48-bit LBA addressing mode.

Partition Windows 7 32/64-Bit by MiniTool Partition Wizard

Because there are some limitations of Disk Management in Window 7, you can take a piece of third-party software to manage the partition and disk. Thus, the professional partition manager Windows 7 – MiniTool Partition Wizard is the best choice.

MiniTool Partition Wizard is designed to optimize the partition and use with its powerful features. Thus, in order to manage partition and disk without limitations, you can download it from the following button.

Partition a New Hard Drive by MiniTool Partition Wizard

When you get a new hard drive, you may need to partition it. Thus, you can try this program and we will show you how to create a partition step by step.

Step 1: Install the software and launch it to enter its main interface.

Step 2: Select the unallocated space and choose Create from the context menu to continue.

Step 3: Next, you need to set some properties of this partition and click OK to continue. You can also drag the arrow to decide the size of this partition.

Step 4: Returning to the main interface, click Apply to confirm the changes.

When all steps are finished, you can successfully create a partition.

Repartition a Hard Drive by Using MiniTool Partition Wizard

If you want to resize partition Windows 7 when there is/are adjacent unallocated space/spaces in the same disk, you can apply the function Move/Resize Partition.

Then we will show you how to move/resize a partition when there is adjacent unallocated space in the same disk.

Step 1: Launch the software to enter its main interface and select the partition which needs to be moved or resized. Then choose Move/Resize from the context menu.

Step 2: In the popup window, you can drag the arrow to resize the partition and move the partition. Then click OK to continue.

Step 3: Click Apply to confirm the changes.

How to Extend Partition When There Is No Adjacent Unallocated Space?

However, if there is no adjacent unallocated space or unallocated space in the same disk, how can you extend partition?

Don’t worry. The Extend Partition feature of MiniTool Partition Wizard can help you.

Step 1: Launch the software to enter its main interface.

Step 2: Select the partition which needs to be extended and choose Extend from the context menu.

Step 3: In the popup window, open the drop-down list of Take Free Space from and choose a partition or the unallocated space to take space. You can drag the slide to decide how much space you want to take. Then click OK to continue.

Step 4: Then click Apply to confirm the changes.

All in all, MiniTool Partition Wizard can help you to extend Windows 7 partition even though there is no adjacent unallocated space in the same disk. However, Disk Management Windows 7 tool can’t achieve that. What’s more, besides those features we have introduced in the above part, MiniTool Partition Wizard has many other powerful features, such as converting FAT to NTFS.

Built-in Partition Manager for Windows 7 — Disk Management

Disk Management is an extension of the Microsoft Management Console that allows users to fully manage the disk-based hardware recognized by Windows, like hard disk drives (both internal and external ones), flash drives and optical disk drives. Disk Management can be used to partition drives, format drives, extend volumes, shrink volumes, convert dynamic disk to basic, and much more. By clicking a drive or a disk, users clearly know what Disk Management can do to it.

Here is the full list of Disk Management features:

For Basic Disk:	For Basic Volume:
New Spanned Volume… New Stripped Volume… New Mirrored Volume… New RAID -5 Volume… Convert to Dynamic Disk… Convert to GPT/MBR Disk Offline Properties Help	Open Explore Make Partition as Active Change Drive Letter and Paths… Format… Extend Volume… Shrink Volume… Add Mirror… Delete Volume… Properties Help
For Dynamic Disk:	For Dynamic Volume:
New Spanned Volume… New Stripped Volume… New Mirrored Volume… New RAID -5 Volume… Import Foreign Disks… Convert to Basic Disk Convert to GPT/MBR Disk Reactivate Disk Remove Disk Offline Properties Help	Open Explore Extend Volume… Shrink Volume… Add Mirror… Change Drive Letter and Paths… Format… Re-active Volume Delete Volume… Properties Help

See Disk Management is really a useful tool that can satisfy most of our needs on disk partition management. However, sometimes due to some limitations, some features get inactivated. For example, while trying to expand storage space of a volume, «Extend Volume» feature greyed out. Besides, many features should be carried out on condition that all partitions are deleted or the hard drive is formatted, bringing much inconvenience to us.

How Does Partition Wizard Resize Server Partition

When it comes to resizing partition, it includes two aspects, i.e. extend partition and shrink partition. Then how does Partition Wizard performs when dealing with Server 2003 resize Partition? Let’s talk about these two aspects one by one.

Resize Server Partition — Extend:

There are three situations when users extend a partition: adjacent with unallocated space (can be achieved by Disk Management), not adjacent with unallocated space, no unallocated space. Luckily, MiniTool Partition Wizard has put forward the corresponding solutions. 

In fact, all these three situations can be perfectly solved by using «Extend Partition». Here are the specific operations:

Step 1. Right click the target partition and select «Extend Partition», then a new window pops up.

Step 2. Drop down the small box to choose which partition you are going to take free space from. Also, you can slide the button to determine how much free space you want. Click «OK» to go back to the main interface.

Resize Server Partition — Shrink:

In some cases, you may want to shrink a partition to release some free space to create a new partition. The shortcoming of Using Disk Management to shrink partition is that Disk Management only allows to shrink at most half of the original partition. What if you want to shrink more? Try MiniTool Partition Wizard Server.

Step 1. Right click the partition you want to shrink and select «Move/Resize». Then a new window pops up.

Step 2. Drag the triangle to the left side to release some partition size and click «OK» to go back to the main interface.

Step 3. Press «Apply» on the top left corner of the main interface to execute all changes.

   If the operations involves system partition, you need to restart your computer for data safety.
