Can't install Windows 7 Ultimate x64

[AddRAM]

I`m really thinking you have a bad disk.

1)Physically disconnect/ unplug/ Remove from install in some form the HDD 1:WDC WD500AA, in your screenshot 7.
2) Make sure the DVD/CD Drive is first boot. (If needed)


3) Clean the HD Drive, using Step one in this tutorial: (you can use the CLEAN or CLEAN ALL commond)

When the HD Drive has 100% Unallocated Space you can Reboot PC with Windows 64 bit DVD.


4) Follow this tutorial to install Windows.

UEFI isn't in boot override, or in any 3 boot options.

Aha, realised I needed the cd in to boot in UEFI, now it is giving me the option

, still getting the error, I didnt format the drive.

 

[gregrocker]

Confirm that you've disconnected one HD and wiped the remaining one.

 

[Infinite]

Both HD's are in and I formatted and deleted using the Custom (Advanced).

I can't format with clean/clean all as I have no OS now

 

[gregrocker]

You can run Diskpart Clean command from Win7 DVD Command Line: DISKPART At PC Startup

Why have you not disconnected or disabed one HD after the step has been given a dozen times now?

Since you had SATA controller still set to RAID in BIOS, how did you unRAID when you did that?

 

[ignatzatsonic]

You can get to Diskpart using a Windows install disk--hit Shift F10 at the screen where you are asked to choose a language. That takes you to a command prompt; then run Diskpart there.

Clean all now running, I don't even know what to take apart (what the Hard Drive is).

 

[gregrocker]

Clean All is unnecessary overkill, only needed to securely overwrite data so it cannot be easily recovered. The Clean command which is instantaneous will provide the only real benefit for install which wiping with Diskpart provides: cleaning the boot sector of any code which can interfere.

May I ask why you didn't inquire further how to unplug one of the your HD's, but just dropped the discussion of it as though the step wasn't important even though given a dozen times by 3-4 of us?

Likewise the suggestion to disable the HD in BIOS was dropped without further inquiry or exploration.

I thought you were intested in Expanding. Of all the tasks you'll endeavor in life there are none more important to be thorough than this.

I was worried about getting in the case invade I broke something and didn't know if the menu saying disable from BIOS disabled the drive.

And I don't think I can cancel Clean All now

Please post a screenshot of the menu to which you're referring, as requested earlier.

I can't go to the BIOS now, it will interfere with the clean, here is a post from earlier:
* * *
If I go to Hard Drive BBS Priorities in BIOS's boot tab.

If I chose Boot Option 1 or 2 which are the HD's, it has a Disable option. Will that disable te Hd?

 

[ignatzatsonic]

Let's hope you are running Clean All on the correct drive if you have 2 connected.

I've long ago lost track of which drive you are attempting to clean--or pretty much what you are trying to accomplish, for that matter.

It is cleaning disk 0.

BBS only tells BIOS which HD to boot in the boot order or using one-time BIOS Boot menu key.

There should be a setting to disable the HD where it registers in the BIOS, likely on the Advanced tab. This should be detailed in your mobo Manual which has also been linked repeatedly for you.

It should be said here:

From your mobo Manual p 23, BIOS Advanced options Tab SATA config:

One of the options is Disabled.

Is there some reason you are unable to study your Manual?

My computer is cleaning the drive and my iPhone can't view PDFs.
