installing Windows 7 in 1 tb hdd

basharps · Nov 23, 2013

I want install Windows 7, I do some steps and when I need to create partition I create them and I choose one and when I click Next button I receive this message:

´´Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. See the Setup log files for more information.´´

What is the problem and how can I solve it? I have 1 tb HDD , 2gb ram and asus m2n68-am plus motherboard.

When you install Windows, you don't create the partition as such Windows will do it for you. If it's a new drive and you only want one partition, just keep clicking next on the installation, no need to play with partitions and sizes.
Just leave it like below;

If your hard drive is brand new.
And in factory raw format.

It needs to be formatted before you can create any partitions on the drive.

As said windows will do this and format the drive first when next is simply clicked. It will also create a smaller partition of 100 Mb
This is used as part of the setup of windows as a temp location to install the files off the cd rom/dvd drive and then cleared.

After this you can partition the drive An there sizes of the partitions as you wish within windows.
