I have purchased an ASRock Beebox N3150. I have replaced the 2GB RAM, which came with the unit with 2x 4GB SODIMMS. I was hoping to get away with the onboard 32GB storage, but this was becoming an issue, so I purchased an AData Premier Pro SP310 128gb mSATA drive.
I have a Windows 10 USB Installation drive. I put this into the Beebox and start going through the installation process.
When I went to select the mSATA drive in the list, it won't let me install Windows on this device and showed an error something along the lines of "We couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one. For more information see the setup log files".
Research indicated that Windows 10 hates a pile of partitions and on the existing onboard storage there were about 4 partitions. So I deleted these. Howerver the issue persisted.
Follwoing other advise, I dropped into a command prompt and using DiskPart, I selected the drivee, cleaned it, created an NTFS partition and set it as the active partition.
This time when I went through the installation process, a new message presented itself:
"Windows can't be installed on Drive 0 Partition 1 (Clcik here for more information)"
When you click on the More Information, I get a message saying Windows can't be installed onto my selected location and provided the error code: 0x80300001
Apparently this error code often shows when the Windows 10 USB Installation drive does have the right drivers for your device.
When I go to the ASRock website there are INF drivers, but they are a Windows executable - the raw files aren't there. I have also gone to the AData website to try and find specific drivers for my mSATA drive, but no luck
Where too from here!?!? Any ideas!?!?
