I am trying to do a fresh windows 7 install on a 32-bit system but i am facing some problems. I booted from a bootable usb with windows 7 home premium 32-bit on it. It went well until the screen where you have to choose the partition you want to install your windows on.
I chose c: drive which had 930gb and i got a warning that it contains personal data and i didn't want that so i went back and formatted the c drive. After few seconds it was done and then i chose c: again but this time i got this error
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
cannot create a new partition or locate an existing one
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i looked on the internet for solutions but whatever i tried didn't help
I tried this method:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DiskPart <ENTER>
list disk <ENTER>
select disk X <ENTER> (Where X is = the Number of the Hard Drive)
CLEAN ALL <ENTER> (Will Take a Long While)
create partition primary <ENTER>
format fs=ntfs <ENTER> (Will Take a Long While)
assign <ENTER>
active <ENTER>
exit <ENTER>
exit <ENTER>
IMMEDIATELY DISCONTINUE install process and REBOOT.
Re-Start Clean Installation Process from DVD again without a format.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But it didn't solve the problem ,still facing it.
I also read that i have to unplug all the unneeded hdd's and usb's, but the only thing i have is the 930gb hdd which belongs to the laptop itself and my bootable usb, which i can't unplug either. So what can i do?
Please help
All answers are appreciated
thanks a lot
