At present, Microsoft's most modern and popular operating system is "Windows 10". So many of us upgrade our old systems to windows 10. We have several problems during this upgrade or when installing windows 10 on an older system. We will discuss a one of those problem here today.
When installing windows 10 on an old system, we often got the following message.
We couldn't install windows in the location you choose. Please check your media drive.
There are two types of communication mode in the storage, that we use in our computer. One of them is "AHCI" and the other one is "IDE" or "ATA". These are also called hard disk controller mode.
Of these controllers, windows 10 only supports "AHCI" mode. So without this mode we cannot run or install windows 10 using any other mode. And that's why we get that error message. If the hard disk controller mode "ATA" or "IDE" is selected during windows 10 install, we will face this problem. And to solve this problem, we need to make the controller mode "AHCI".
And this hard disk configuration mode can only be selected form the "BIOS"."BIOS" can have this option under different names. Such as, SATA Configuration, SATA Mode, Storage Controller etc.
Whatever the name it is, our purpose will be hard disk configuration mode "AHCI" is selected. So, that error message won't come. Also we need to keep in mind that, boot mode must be selected as "UEFI" mode. In this case, there should be no "Legacy" or any other mode. Otherwise the system will not boot.
Hope you will be succeed.
