Windows 10: Could not locate target partition: 14 not found

Just purchased a new computer that did not have windows on it. I have a USB with Win 11 bootable media on it. I keep getting the above error. I have attached screenshots of the error along with my boot setting in my MSI BIOS screen. I have searched this issue but have not found an exact answer. Any help would be appreciated

W7 Hard drive partition issue

to get rid of that 100 meg windows partition that setup creates for you on a new install on a blank hdd:

- press shift+f10 when on the partition management screen in setup <-- this opens a command prompt
- diskpart <-- start the windows command line partition management tool
- list disk <--- list the installed hdds in this computer for the next step
- select disk 0 <- might have to replace 0 with the number of the correct disk
- clean <-- this will erase all data on the disk you selected one step up- dont use the wrong disk!
- create partition primary <- creates a primary partition taking up all space on the drive, adjust the command if necessary
- exit, exit to exit diskpart and the command prompt
- click refresh in partition manager and select your newly created partition and install to that

 

"Open file location" or “Save image as” opens to Desktop folder instead of target folder.

Basically, trying to ‘save to a target folder’ or ‘open from a target folder’ goes to the Desktop folder instead of the target folder.



Examples:

• Enter a file name in desktop search bar. List of possible files, desired file is in a target folder within another folder. Right click on desired file, then ‘Open file location’. Result is Desktop folder instead of target folder.
  
• Right click on a folder from the Taskbar File Explorer jump list, it (as normal) gives me a list of Frequent folders I have used. Then, when I right click on one of the frequent folder names, I get the list. The first entry is ‘Open’; the second entry is ‘Open file location’. Left clicking on either of those entries opens the Desktop folder instead of the target folder.
  
• When I am downloading an image from a browser (Save image as), I have selected the target location folder, but it defaults to the Desktop folder. This happens in both Chrome and Edge, each of which has a target folder (not Desktop) download location selected in their Settings section.
  

It seems like the target folder is momentarily opened (perhaps ½ second), then immediately closes and then the Desktop folder shows.



Additional test: When in File Explorer, say, Recent section, right clicking on the item, then Open file location does correctly take me to the Target folder (not to the Desktop folder). And after searching for an item within File Explorer, right clicking on the item, then Open file location works properly (takes me to the Target file location).



So, within File Explorer, Open file location works ok, but outside of File Explorer, Open file location defaults to the Desktop folder instead of target location.



Would appreciate any hints as to why this is happening on Windows 11; did not happen with Windows 10.

 

Not enough memory in target location

When I had this phone, I tried to sync it with my old phone to import the contacts list, but I got the following message:



"not enough memory in target location"



This was even though the phone was brand new and nothing was installed on it. I checked the phone memory and it was not full at all (roughly around 29GB left). Does anyone know why this would have happened?



Thanks in advance.
