W10 can't be installed

[V.]

Today i got one step further….. copied the winpe and the images to two different usb keys. First booting to windows, then power off and then via the bios to boot override. Then the installation started…… but…… then it ran into the next problem…. “Failed to make w:\recycler\scratch directory”.

Does anyone know what is happening here??? I’ve googled around; found the problem at many sites, but couldn’t find the clue yet.

So who’s got the clue????

Or is Techtablets becoming a dead forum? Because there’s not much action around here. The website is getting very slow and the downloads are all dead links….. (for Teclast x98 pro)…..

Might be easier to use the Windows 10 media creation tool, created a new USB pen drive and boot to that. Do a fresh install and later restore drivers.

If you still have errors something is wrong with the eMMC, maybe it all needs to be repartitioned.

Not a lot of people own the X98 Pro (I sold mine) so of course things will be slow. And as I replied to you in the other thread, I get 20-30 emails and PM’s just like your a day. I cannot answer them all. I’ll help as best as I can, so will other members.

Hi Chris,

TNX for your reaction ! I think i found the problem……

There is a main script with command lines to guide the W10 installation on the WinPE installation disk from Teclast. It’s the file “main.cmd”. And as far as i can read the commands, the script is written for an installation from zero…. So if i’m right you have to install Android for dual boot first; within this installation the disk is prepared for Windows too.

Or change the main.cmd file….

This means that you can never install separately W10 with the dual installation set from Teclast. The dual set is only meant to be installed both… And now i know why you have to name the disk WinPE… Or it can be done by first repartitioning the drives. But how can you get to the drives?

I’ve listed the drives when i was still in de windows installation shell; see the attached files.

And look at the command lines from the “main.cmd” script; it looks like a strange start…..:

@ECHO off

@REM This script is called by x:\Windows\System32\Startnet.cmd – WinPE

@ECHO.

@ECHO.

@ECHO.

@ECHO Running Intel Optimization powercfg for improved imaging times

@ECHO.

@ECHO call powercfg /s 8c5e7fda-e8bf-4a96-9a85-a6e23a8c635c

CALL powercfg /s 8c5e7fda-e8bf-4a96-9a85-a6e23a8c635c

@ECHO.

@REM *****************************************************************

@REM List all the disks, then search the volumes of each one to see

@REM which disks may have “Winpe” in the label. We will ignore that

@REM disk and use the first disk without the Winpe label that we find.

@REM *****************************************************************

@REM create diskpart script for list disk

@ECHO.>x:\listdisk.txt

@ECHO list disk>>x:\listdisk.txt

@ECHO exit>>x:\listdisk.txt

@ECHO x:\listdisk.txt

@ECHO call diskpart /s x:\listdisk.txt

CALL diskpart /s x:\listdisk.txt>x:\Disks.txt

@ECHO.

@REM Set Disk equal to blank to start

SET disk=

@ECHO.

@REM

@REM This line will write a diskpart script to select the disk and detail it’s contents.

@REM We use this output to find a disk that does NOT have Winpe as the volume label.

@REM That disk will have the OS installed to it. This way you can exclude USB from diskpart.

@REM

@REM This works around the issue where the USB key is sometimes enumerated as disk 0 and the

@REM SSD is disk 1.

@REM

FOR /f “skip=8 tokens=2” %%A IN (x:\Disks.txt) DO (

@ECHO sel disk %%A>x:\Par.txt

@ECHO det disk>>x:\Par.txt

@ECHO exit>>x:\Par.txt

IF NOT “%%A”==”DiskPart…” CALL :LISTPAR %%A

)

IF “%Disk%”==”” ECHO “No disk found without a volume label of WINPE” && SET disk=0

@ECHO Using Disk “%Disk%”

@ECHO.

@ECHO.

@ECHO.

@REM *****************************************************************

Okay sOunds like you’re either flashing the dual os version or the full Windows only version. Flashing the wrong version of WINPE image will do that as the script things you have it partitioned for the other model.

Tried a fresh W10 install. But it then get’s stuck in one of the most curious problems from the MS windows setup: “Setup was unable to create a new system partition ………” The partition is there (33 Gb), is formatted, primary etc….. But the message comes back en back…… Searched the internet for a solution; nothing worked (and there are dozens of people with the same problem… (with Wvista, W7, W10….. Microsoft…………)…. (solutions i’ve tried like taking out the USB drive or change the USB drive did not work). The only solution is to create a new partition and copy all the W10 setup files to it. And then boot from that and install W10. But that’s not an easy job. And it’s tricky within diskpart.

Maybe you saw this problem before with the x98? Or do you have a other solution?

The website has a normal speed again 🙂

Update: on xda developers site i found that somebody was faced with the same problem with a Teclast 98 3G. He deleted the partitions 16-19 related to Windows; and then it worked. But he didn’t tell which partitions names. On this x98 pro there are less partitions; 16 total; 14 = MSR (16 MB), 15 = old windows installation partition and already formatted (primary)(33.3 GB) and 16 = recovery (500 NB).

http://forum.xda-developers.com/x98-air/general/windows-10-pro-international-custom-t3201607/page4

So my question is: can i (do i have to…) delete partition 14, 15 and16?

2 problems…my teclast x98 pro tablet battery discharges when I switch it off and dual boot options not coming while switch on. It directly boots to wind or and depending upon which os was selected before.

@Prince: it looks like you don’t really shut down your tablet. If you want to power off your your tablet; in android: you have to push the power button for a few seconds; then a menu shows up were you can choose to really shut down.

And finally SUCCEEDED 🙂

A beautiful Fresh W10 🙂
