Hello Guys,

For about a week, I started having an issue with my laptop in almost every task I am trying to do.

It all started when I wanted to install Ubuntu on my laptop along with windows 7, so I used disk management to create a partition from another one, It was fine until I started having issue with formatting the partition using Ubuntu , so I abandoned the idea of installing Ubuntu , and tried to merge back the two partitions I already split, the problem, is when I try to expand the last partition, disk management shows me two blocks with the same partition letter, practically it's the same partition, but it's showing on two separated blocks, I don't know why.

Then everything in the laptop started getting slow, booting, copying files, even when I listen to a media, it just keeps pausing and cutting out, I believe it has something to do with my hdd.

Now just today I started having another issue, trying to copy some files to a usb drive, I keep getting : ERROR 0x8007045D , and something that's related to i/o errors, I looked for this error online, and again, none of the solutions worked for me.

Finally I did one last hopeless step, trying to format my entire hard drive, the problem I keep having now is when I try to format the partition that's been causing the issues or install windows in, it just says:
Windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space. The Partition contains one or more dynamic volumes that are not supported for installation.

I looked for that too, and I found something that has to do with MBR / GPT partition style, I don't know if it has anything to do with my problem. I just gave up on searching.

Please guys just tell me what is going on here,this thing is so frustrating.

Btw: I have a Lenovo Thinkpad t430 laptop windows 7 installed.

I would be very grateful for any help you offer me...

Hey there, Yassir_1

Try changing the partition you're talking about back to basic: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc755238.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
If that doesn't prove useful, you could try connecting the drive to a different computer and try low level formatting (a.k.a write zeros) the drive via an HDD diagnostics tool which supports that type of formatting. This would wipe your hard drive clean and it would be as if it is a brand new internal drive. This means that you'd have to initialize, partition and format it.

Hope that helps.
