Hello, how y'all doing community...

I'm came to make a little questio. about my laptop.
I have an Asus SonicMaster
core i5
2Gb RAM
500Gb on HD

I upgrade to Windows 10 from Windows 8, everything was fine.

And one day the laptop freak out and decided don't start. Ok as I don't have nothing important I decide to make a Clean installation of Windows.
I make my bootable USB with the Windows Media Creation Tool.
I have the surprise with this error that is: "Windows cannot be install in this disk. The disk may be fail soon if other hard disk are available, install Windows to another location."

I make the diskpart command and is detected and I clean the disk.

IMy BIOS detected the disk and I have AHCI enable.

I try to install Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and the same results.

Just to know if is necessary replace the HD.

I think if you get same error from multiple installers then you should take its advice and replace hdd.

There are ways to test the drive but no way to actually fix it, its possible it has lots of bad sectors or might be at the limit where it cannot allocate good sectors to replace bad ones.

I'm so sorry I was busy at work.
Well, you're right, I need to replace the hdd. :'(
I don't see any solution about it plus I don't see either who can solve that issue.

Thank you for your fast response, this forum is amazing.
