Hey,

I'm new to the community, I'm a Senior Management Information Systems major and I feel stupid that I can't figure this problem out.

I recently bought a fairly new Dell Precision 5510 w/ Xeon cpu. I have a bootable USB ready to install Windows 10 but the problem is all drive partitions have been wiped and I used YUMI and TUX to try to partition the drives to NTFS format. YUMI did a better job w/ its GUI than TUX as TUX completely failed.

The USB drives w/ Gpart got to the GUI but failed shortly after selecting options and demanded I reboot. No matter what combination I tried, including running the Win 10 installer first, I was either forced to reboot or the installation failed to continue due to GPT issues.

I'm looking for some other usb bootable partitioning tools (paid or otherwise) that might help me solve this problem. There are plenty out there with good reviews, but I wanted to post here first to see if anyone has had any experience with this issue.
