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

[Thrall]

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!!!

Check the hard drive with the manufacturer's diagnostic tools.

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

 

[Thrall]

how do I do that? by diskpart?

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

 

[whs]

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 ??

I have 8 HD's 500gb equal to that of, and everybody is giving this same problem, I use a 320gb hd normal functioning normally and windows in it ...

My cable is Sata.

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.

Test your HD with the maker's HD Diagnostic extended CD scan.

If it tests OK then unplug all other HD's and peripherals,

Boot into BIOS setup to enable Legacy BIOS if present. Next check BIOS Boot order for an EFI Boot Disk and if present remove it, set DVD drive first to boot, HD second. Then set SATA controller to AHCI. Save changes and Exit.

Then boot into installer DVD or flash stick burned or written using tool and latest ISO for your licensed OS version here.

At first installer screen Press Shift + F10 to open a Command Box, type:

DISKPART
LIST DISK
SELECT DISK 0 (after confirming Windows 7 target HD #)
CLEAN
CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY SIZE=102400 (for 100gb partition, adjust as desired)
FORMAT FS=NTFS LABEL="WINDOWS 7"
ACTIVE
EXIT
EXIT

Next click Install Now to Clean Install Windows 7 to the partition you created. If it fails then report back at which step and the verbatim error message.

In addition read over these steps to understand the tools and methods which work best to get and maintain a perfect Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7. The steps are the same for retail.

Then I'll test on my personal computer and post the result.. thanks

That's OK, just continue with the steps. If it installs, while it's installing then read again Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 closely so you understand how to handle drivers in Win7.

I just put a normal HD format on this same machine and usually formatted and installed windows. It seems to be problem with hard drives, but the 8 very strange not work.

Friend, I just pass the HD Diagnostic, appeared the following sentence and not continued:

"DRIVE IS LOCKED"

All these hds I got to format is an internet company, was it locked so it can not do anything or create a partition?

thanks...

Try this program. I have never used it, but it sounds promising.

 

[Thrall]

When did the message that the drive is locked appear? I asked you to report back at which step it failed.

Try the Diskpart Clean Command steps you were given to wipe the HD:

Unplug all other HD's and peripherals,

Boot into BIOS setup to enable Legacy BIOS if present. Next check BIOS Boot order for an EFI Boot Disk and if present remove it, set DVD drive first to boot, HD second. Then set SATA controller to AHCI. Save changes and Exit.
