Is Disk 1 the USB stick?

I'm well on my way.  Windows currently loading.  

I had a few hurdles starting with a bad USB that I was using as a boot disk. 

Deleted both of those partitions and created a new one.  When I did, I received this message:

" To ensure that all Windows features work correctly, Windows might create additional partitions for system files."

It actually created a total of three partitions:

Drive 0 Partition 1     100MB       System

Drive 0 Partition 2     16MB          MSR

Drive 0 Partition 3     1862.9GB  Primary

WOW! Good Job and you managed it and everything looks good.

But!

You didn't do that:

A new window will appear

here enter 153600 MB (that creates a 150 GB C-Partition that is enough

and continue

Now you now how to setup the installation and I would do that, because when you leave it as it is you don't have the chance to create a Partition for files. everything is on C-Drive and with the next problem you loose your data again.

Try it and you will be happy afterwards. 😃
