I am trying to install windows 10 via USB on my HP Pavilion G6 Laptop, I deleted the hard disk partition to create new partition, but now when I select that partition, it says that Windows can't be installed on this drive as it is GPT partition. I enabled Legacy boot, still it gives me same message. I tried to create a new partition, it says that it will check to ensure that windows feature works properly and upon clicking OK, it gave this message after a minute : We couldn't create a new partition. Error 0xbdba5840

Input “create partition primary size = xxx”: to create the size of primary partition.
Input “format fs = ntfs quickly”: to format disk to NTFS quickly.
Input “exit”: to finish...
