    Perhaps running just the clean command first will sort it, if that doesn't help try the full clean all command.


       Information

    1) To rule out HDD Master Boot Record format errors, boot the Windows 7 installation media to diskpart and run the clean command, it takes only seconds to complete; once the clean finishes, exit diskpart and use the Windows 7 installer to create and format a single 100GB partition for the installation.

    If that doesn't work, after another clean, use diskpart to create, format and mark Active a single 100GB partition to see if that works, use Step Two #2 in the SSD/HDD tutorial for reference.

    You can always extend the Windows partition to include the remaining unallocated space on the HDD / SSD or create additional Primary partitions or an Extended partition after the installation completes if you choose.

    2) If you have ever had Linux installed to the HDD in any way, a simple clean command will not over-write the Grub boot-loader, you must use the full clean all command to completely over-write the Grub loader so Windows will install.

    This likely means there is code on the K drive causing it to interfere with boot. Move the data off of it and wipe it using Diskpart Clean command: Clean and Clean All with Diskpart Command.

    Next use free Partition Wizard to Create NTFS logical data partition, format, assign letter.
