Windows 7 Installation Problems
Hi, I've been trying to install Windows 7 for some time now but get problem after problem. First it said "A required CD/DVD Driver Device Is Missing ect...."no avail at fixing that one I then went to the USB route, that worked as I was able to get a bootable copy on USB BUT now I purchased a new drive Seagate Barracuda ATA-300. It will detect the drive in bios and on the bootscreen but not in My Computer or Disk Managment.It will however detect in Windows installation but states "Windows Could not create a partion on disk 1 the error occured while preparing the portion selected for installation ERROR CODE 0x80070017"
Then I also get this "Windows is unable to install to selected location ERROR 0x80300024"
Thanks to anyone who can help.
By the way I'm upgrading from XP if that makes a difference
