Error Code 1900201

[fatrat727]

Keep getting error message "can not update system partition" everytime I go to install the Windows 10 Tech preview. I have 8.1. Running custom desktop.

 

[Chuck Foltz]

Bitlocker enabled?

 

[fatrat727]

Nope

 

[Chuck Foltz]

Are you upgrading or fresh install? Dual booting or 1 single partition for your whole drive?

 

[fatrat727]

Attempting to upgrade from 8.1. Single partition is what I'm trying to accomplish on my SSD. But I do have the SSD as primary and a HDD as secondary. The HDD is empty right now. Would it be better if I dual boot in my case?

Have you checked if there is some secure boot settings in bios? Sometimes this can block access to the other partitions.

nothing in BIOS that would be blocking me. I also checked in the Samsung software that comes with the SSD. I'm downloading the ISO file. Maybe I can't do it from windows update. We shall see.

your HDD may have hidden system files. I had installation problems on my new PC as well. Although my error message is different, I would check anyway.
I recently cloned my hdd to a new ssd and made that my boot drive. the hdd still had system files. Whenever I tried to install the 10 TP it would give me an error after installation first boot. Both from iso and from windows update.
0x80070002-0x20009.

I unplugged my hdd and was able to install the 10 TP without a problem. plugged hdd back in after installation.

I know it's a long shot, but how knows - easy enough to unplug the hdd. hope that helps.
​good luck

I'll try that next. I did format the HDD after the clone process. Still worth a try though.

 

[fatrat727]

Still

please let us know how

Fiddled with my reserved partition. I deleted all the unnecessary language packs that was within the boot folder in that partition. Worked like a charm. Thanks for all the suggestions from everyone though.
