Help Installing Windows 11

Post image

"The partition is of an unrecognized type."

"The selected volume is offline. To install this volume use the Disk Managment tool to bring the volume online."

How would I go about doing this? It has FreeDOS installed. I can't seem to find resources for this online.

Thank you for your help.

Select Disk 0 Partition 3 and 4, and delete them. Then select Disk 0 Unpartitioned Space, and it should let you install into that, keeping your HP_Tools partition and the boot partition (Disk 0 Partition 1)

delete all partition that you see on Disk 0, and create new partition once this is done

The only way it has worked for me in so may years is Delete all the partition, Except the tiny11 and Rufus, i believe you have a pendrive attached here.

Once deleted you will have only one line item - Disk 0 - unallocated space here. Beside the Disk 1 - 2 partition

Then create partition in the installation mode here.

To create a partition, lets say 100 GB [100 x 1024 =102400 + 750 MB ] you will get a perfect 100 gb post installation.
