Please go throw the below steps:
- There should be a maximum of three primary partitions in the MBR partition table, including 100MB system partition as mentioned below:
1. (System, Active, Primary Partition)
2. C: (Boot, Page File, Cash Dumps, Primary Partition)
3. 😧 (Primary Partition) - You should not have any extended/logical partition, all three partitions must be primary partitions.
- If you have more than three partitions, you must delete the least important partitions after backing up the important data.
- I have done it successfully (Screenshot Attached)
