Windows 7 - Installation slow/can't format.

I tried this with kill disc and got the same results

Ok I tried the clean all command and it said my hard drive wasnt connected even though it showed up in the list disk?? Any ideas?

Check the hard drive with the manufacturer's diagnostic tools.

Yeah, the drive is probably gone. Its a Toshiba drive so looks like i will have to follow up with Dell. Thanks for the help.

Try to format it with Eseaus partition master , but I think you will have to do this from another pc , or may be it will work with a virtual windows disk. All soo try /hard ereaser/ from hirens boot cd. You can all soo try hdd regenerator from hirens boot cd 10.5 to verify the hard for bad sectors.

I had a similar problem today , so I try the virtual xp and I saw that no partitions were found, so I shuted down the pc. Open it and I take out the sata cabel from hard and motherboard reinsert it , all soo I take out the power cabel and reinsert it, and I just inserted the windows 7 disc and format the partition with it and know I'm all most finish setup windows.
