    So you want to start with a total empty physical drive? Really nothing on it?

    Katak,

    Use your Win 7 DVD to "clean" your hard drive.

    GO TO A COMMAND PROMPT
    USING YOUR WIN 7 DVD/UFD




    BOOT TO A COMMAND PROMPT USING A WIN 7 DVD/USB STICK
    Ø Insert your Win 7 DVD or Win 7 USB
    Ø Power down your computer.
    Ø Power up your computer.
    Ø Boot up your computer from the Win 7 DVD/USB stick.
    Ø When a screen is displayed asking for the Language to Install,
    press the key combo of SHIFT + F10.
    Do NOT click on Next.
    Press the SHIFT + F10 key combo.

    You will have a X:\Sources> command prompt.
    X: is a ram drive created by Windows 7.
    X: contains a mini-version of Windows 7 called a PE (pre-execution environment).

    If you do not plan on installing windows at this time, you may now remove the DVD/USB stick.

    If you plan on continuing with an install, then do not remove.

    Execute the desired commands.
    Use the EXIT command to return to the Win 7 installation procedure.
    NOTE: UFD = Usb Flash Device = usb stick = pendrive = thumb drive
    ==================================================

    That showed you how to get to a command prompt.

    Here is how to prepare the hard disk once you are at the command prompt:

    type these commands,following each by hitting the ENTER key:

    DISKPART
    LIST DISK
    SELECT DISK 0
    DETAIL DISK (to make sure you got the hard disk)
    CLEAN
    EXIT
    EXIT (this one gets you back into the install program.

    After using the Command Promt


    Hi i have been having the same problem and have followed the command prompt steps.

    After using the command prompt I deleted and created a new partition, when selecting where to select where to install windows I receive the following error: " Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. See the setup log files for more information."

    Unfortunately I am not sure where to find the setup log files.
