How do I fix Disk 0 size 0 B?
I'm reinstalling windows 10 on my laptop. I never get past choosing where to install it because it always says that I can't install it because it's only 0 MB. While trying out a possible solution that I found, i encountered a problem. It said "Diskpart has encounteres an error: Incorrect function. See the System Event Log for more information."
How can I fix this?
windows-10 installation diskpart

If you can boot up a Linux LiveCD, take a look at that drive. You may need to initialize it so Windows thinks it is starting from a clean factory-fresh disk. Also, the disk might have failed. Can you provide some context here? Why are you reinstalling Win10?

Assuming the disk is functioning correctly, you need to "clean" it to remove any improper formatting information.
- Boot from your Windows installation media
- Choose Repair your computer
- Choose Troubleshoot
- Choose Command Prompt
- Run
diskpart
- Type
list diskand identify the disk number of your fixed disk - Type
select disk Xwhere X is the disk number from step 6 - Type
clean. Warning: This will erase the selected disk! - Type
exitand then restart your computer and try installing Windows
