    Setup was unable to create a new system partition - I can not create p


    Hello guys,'ve looked for everything that google and not found my solution.

    Is giving the following error when trying to install windows 7 in HD:
    "setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition"

    I've tried to do some procedures, but also can not create partition, do not know what else to do.

    I've tried also to give a "clean" and nothing also, can someone help me?

    Thanks!!!

    Create a primary active partition of 50GB or more on the HDD and install into that.

    Diskpart
    List disk
    Select disk n (where n is the number that was given for your SSD in List disk)
    Clean (this would clean the whole disk)
    Create partition primary size=50000 (this would be for 50GBs)
    Format fs=ntfs quick
    Active
    Exit

    Friend when I get this part:
    Create partition primary size=50000

    It turns out this problem:
    diskpart has encountered an error the request could not be performed because of an i/o device error


    What to do? Thanks for now!!

    That means there is a problem with your disk or the Sata controller - which is more likely since you seemed to have the problem on different HDDs. Hard to say how to cure it short of a new mobo.

    Do you have an eSata port on that system ??

    As I said, sounds like a Sata controller problem. If you has an eSata port (which few machines have) and an eSata enclosure, we could test it from there.
