I was having problems with my hdd because i accidentally deleted the system partition, so i initiated the clean all command from the installation disk.. I have a 1tb hdd, it was taking forever so i cancelled it and ran the "clean" command instead, it finished instantly.. When i returned to the windows 7 installation, i see unallocated partition, when i click on next it says "windows is unable to install to the selected location. Error: 0x80300024" and when i click "new".. It says " windows will install a system partition" but then it does nothing at all, the other options arent accessible.. I was thinking of running the ubuntu live cd and using gparted to re format any thoughts?... Thanks
