I have been using the Win7 install disc to access CMD.exe
I have set BIOS boot order to DVD first then HD second, set SATA controller to AHCI
I have been able to clean the disk successfully
I have also done these steps:
DISKPART
LIST DISK
SEL DISK 0
CLEAN
CONVERT MBR
CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY SIZE=5000
ACTIVE
FORMAT FS=NTFS LABEL="WINDOWS 7"
At this point it either begins the process and freezes at 0%
Or it gets to 3% stops and displays:
Diskpart has encountered an error: the parameter is incorrect see the system event log for more info.
I am thinking, now if I am able to install windows 7 onto an external drive (USB) and use that to boot up my laptop then go through disk management to create and convert the partitions? would that work?
