I have just received an Acer W510 to test as a potential W8 tablet to deploy to staff at our school. I have set a supervisor password, disabled secure boot, set USB boot as first prioirty, but no matter what I do I can't get the device to read a usb stick with an image prepared with MDT 2012.
Acer Iconia W500 Tablet
6/1/12 Edit: this issue occurs with both the Consumer Preview & Release Preview, just remove the SD card and you'll be on your way. See below for more info.-During the installation of Win8 CP (also occurs with the RP) I wiped the drive for a clean install and encountered the following error: ' We couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one. For more information, see the Setuplog files.' I've wiped the drive, formatted, deleted partitions, made new ones and nothing works.Looking at the Kingston website there is no driver available for this mSATA drive and I'm uncertain of what I should attempt to use to work around this.If it helps, I never had a problem performing a clean install with Win7. Funny, PHEW was the last thing I was thinking Zeke:)I'm going to need logs for this if possible.

Can you check and see if you have a $WINDOWS.BT$ folder on the system yet? If so, I need the SourcesPanther directory from the machines. If that directory doesnt exist, search the drive forthe setupact.log and setuperr.log for me if you can.Last question because this has been seen on other posts already, has this image worked on any other machine? I just want to confirm the source is good.Thanks!-Joseph MSFT http://blogs.technet.com/b/joscon/. I just found a solution.Start DISKPART.Type LIST DISK and identify your SSD disk number (from 0 to n disks).Type SELECT DISK where is your SSD disk number.Type CLEANType CREATE PARTITION PRIMARYType ACTIVEType FORMAT FS=NTFS QUICKType ASSIGNType EXIT twice (one to get out of DiskPart, the other to exit the command line tool)Thank you CyberNight! That worked and I took a slightly different path than you.Knowing my install would not work, I went right to DISKPART and once finished, I continued on my way to the select a drive (no reboot).It's installing right now, thanks again!
Joseph,You may be interested to know the following facts:. Once I repaired my disk using the procedure I described, I restarted the installation process. If, when at the point where I can choose the partition, I delete the 'just fixed' partition using the UI and recreate the partition right away, it will fail withthe original error. This is how I was able to get you the log. Once in this state, I have to redo the procedure I described in a previous post to have the setup working. One difference I noticed is that when the setup fails, the UI (in the partition selection dialog) displays the partition as 'Primary'. When I fix it using the procedure, the UI displays it as '.
