Windows 7 Home Premium Installation Error...

[Rawad]

Windows 7 cannot be installed to disk 0 partition 2

Update 1 :When I turn on the Computer this is the display message I get , what does it mean?.I can still boot the Windows Installation Disc after that Display message by pressing F1 to boot. Is this why Windows isn't installing properly.




Update 2 [Recent]

I was able to bypass the Windows Installation Error 0x80070057 by following the guide step by step , I posted below , however I have encountered another issue. It shows me a warning sign with the message "windows cannot be installed to partition 0 disk 2". I will post a picture soon.
Error 0x80070057 when you format a hard disk drive to install Windows 7

Try cleaning the HDD first.

Do you only have one drive plugged into the motherboard during installation?

I updated my post ,please take a look at it.

It's quite clear: your HD is failing.

To confirm this you can run the maker's HD Diagnostic extended CD scan, or you can just replace it now since the error is rarely wrong.

Which one do I download?, I have the HP Compac dc5750

Did you follow the instructions on the screen to run the HD self-test from the F10 prompt at boot? If not try that now.

Then you'll need the HD brand to choose the correct test. If there isn't one for your make then use Seatools DOS ISO burned to CD using Windows Image Burner, reboot to boot into CD using F12 key, run Full test.

I just ran the DPS Self Test , got an error saying test failed with a display message "Drive replacement recommended", I believe this computer needs a new drive for the installation to work.


Does anyone have the link for the HD Diagnostic I need for my hp compact dc5750, can't find it.

How would I check the make of the HDD . Is it in the BIOS Menu somewhere, If it is, I believe the hardrive is the SATA1 . Now what Hardrive Diagnostic tool do I run? , there are many.

 

[theog]

What is the pat No next to SATA 1? (WD???????????????)
WD = Western Digital.
or
Look for the make on the HDD.

I have no choice but to remove the the hardrive and see for myself? , or could I find the No next to SATA 1 in the BIOS? , the reason I ask because I have no experience in that area unfortunately.

If a serial is given next to the HD's listing in BIOS you can sometimes google the serial to reveal the HD make and model, or at least the make which is what is needed to find the HD Diagnostic.

Otherwise here is the HP tutorial for removing and/or replacing the model's HD: http://bizsupport1.austin.hp.com/bi...Document.jsp?objectID=c01441499&printver=true
