Windows 7: Windows 7 clean install error 0x80070057

Hi, i tried to do a clean install acording to your suggestion , but this error kept coming up windows error 0x80070057... I'm using asus P6T mobo (no on board gfx option) nvidia gtx285 gfx, 2mb ram, and that's all... The hdd is newly formated... Please help...

Error 0x80070057 when you format a hard disk drive to install Windows 7

When do you get that error? In install step os is it installed already?

i get the error in install step. after selecting the drive, and pressing next. and yes, i did just format the hard drive.

So you want to start with a total empty physical drive? Really nothing on it?

Katak,

Use your Win 7 DVD to "clean" your hard drive.

GO TO A COMMAND PROMPT
USING YOUR WIN 7 DVD/UFD



BOOT TO A COMMAND PROMPT USING A WIN 7 DVD/USB STICK
Ø Insert your Win 7 DVD or Win 7 USB
Ø Power down your computer.
Ø Power up your computer.
Ø Boot up your computer from the Win 7 DVD/USB stick.
Ø When a screen is displayed asking for the Language to Install,
press the key combo of SHIFT + F10.
Do NOT click on Next.
Press the SHIFT + F10 key combo.

You will have a X:\Sources> command prompt.
X: is a ram drive created by Windows 7.
X: contains a mini-version of Windows 7 called a PE (pre-execution environment).

If you do not plan on installing windows at this time, you may now remove the DVD/USB stick.

If you plan on continuing with an install, then do not remove.

Execute the desired commands.
Use the EXIT command to return to the Win 7 installation procedure.
NOTE: UFD = Usb Flash Device = usb stick = pendrive = thumb drive
==================================================

That showed you how to get to a command prompt.

Here is how to prepare the hard disk once you are at the command prompt:

type these commands,following each by hitting the ENTER key:

DISKPART
LIST DISK
SELECT DISK 0
DETAIL DISK (to make sure you got the hard disk)
CLEAN
EXIT
EXIT (this one gets you back into the install program.

Yes, that's the plan...
