Trying to install Windows 7 on my new PC. But this shows up every time. I did avoid the USB3.0 port and i did change to AHCI. Also I tried to install on my SSD and HDD separately both failed. oh and i tried the clean and disk partition thing. None of them worked T_T really need some help here.

Hey sologod42. So as I understand you're trying to install Windows via a USB flash drive? This issue might occur sometimes. Here's a link with a possible solution, which might prove useful in your case: http://druss.co/2014/07/fixed-setup-was-unable-to-create-a-new-system-partition-or-locate-an-existing-system-partition-during-installing-windows-8-18-7-vista-etc-from-usb/

Hope that helps. Please keep me posted on your progress.
