Windows Cannot be Installed to Disk 0 Partition 1

If you click on the screenshots they turn rightside up.

Click on Tests tab on Seatools to proceed with Long Test. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/313457-seatools-dos-windows-how-use.html

Lets see the Advanced and Boot tabs of the BIOS.

So far I see no evidence you have a UEFI BIOS. But you also have a 2010 BIOS version so there may be an Update for it on the HP Support Downloads webpage. Look over that carefully to see what changes it offers as you may or may not need them.

So if HD passes Long Test and nothing else indicates a UEFI BIOS then work through the steps for Overcoming Windows 7 Installation Failures - Windows 7 Help Forums.

So the long test gave me a test code and said i had a failed sector

On there site to repair this they say to do preform a full zero fill im not sure what that is there are 3 erase options here...

 

[gregrocker]

You want a Full Erase, same as Diskpart Clean All: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/52129-disk-clean-clean-all-diskpart-command.html

 

[Zlaxon]

This has happened twice idk what it is

 

[Zlaxon]

Green lettering and a loud constant beep sound

 

[Zlaxon]

Ill use clean all insted since the full erase keeps erroring

 

[gregrocker]

Did you choose Full Erase? If so boot back into Seatools disk to try again.

If that fails boot into Win7 installation media's http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/668-system-recovery-options.html Command Line to run Diskpart Clean All command.

Then close command box, click Install Now, try creating a partition to format and install.

I`ll ask one more time, did you try to install on unallocated space ?

Meaning, did you delete all the partitions to unallocated space then clicked next ?????

 

[AddRAM]

Did you disable EFI in the bios ?

Did you convert the hard drive from GPT to MBR ?

When you get to the page that says windows can`t be installed to this disk, read the details and tell us exactly what it says.

 

[Zlaxon]

Im still doing the clean its taking a long time because its 1TB ill let you know After its finished if it will let me install

 

[Zlaxon]

Also theres a photo of the entire message on page 3

 

[Zlaxon]

About the changing from gtp to mbr i might have i was following a tutorial and remember them saying after the clean to type some MBR command like that. i dont know if it was gtp or mbr originally. Im not sure what ufi efi or any of these things are i do t think i touched them but i will check after the clean is finished and i try the install

 

[gregrocker]

Try install again. Does it boot as UEFI device? Error?

If it fails trying either UEFI or Legacy boot then test the HD again as it is suspect. You may ask Arc for help in Seatools tutorial to be certain.

 

[Zlaxon]

Ok so here is where im at after the "clean all"
1: Try install

 

[Zlaxon]

2: check BIOS

 

[Zlaxon]

More bios

 

[Zlaxon]

This stuff

Look sorry if I am repeating myself but try a surface test with Partition Wizard it is a physical test as opposed to a generally software one. It also to some extent checks the ability of the read / write heads as well.

Now I ma not sure if this will run from the bootable PW Boot partition manager from USB Flash disk directly to manage disk partition - Partition Wizard Bootable Flash Drive. if it doesn't then if you have access to another machine you could run it using a USB to SATA gadget running PW on the secondary machine. It seems to me that the drive is probably the problem and you seem to be chasing your tail trying to catch the cause.

Try prepartitioning an Active partition and all other steps from Overcoming Windows 7 Installation Failures - Windows 7 Help Forums.

You can save trying a new installer for last. If DVD fails try the flash stick option. Use only a freshly downloaded ISO and tool given to write to disk or stick.
