    Welcome to Seven Forums.

    What you are going to want to do is create the partition BEFORE you start installing Windows 7.

    Why are you reinstalling?


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

    1. Set your PC to boot from DVD via BIOS
    2. Put the DVD in and let it load until you get to this screen:
    3. Once at this screen, press: (SHIFT+F10) to get a CMD window
    4. MAKE SURE YOU SELECT THE DRIVE YOUR INSTALLING WINDOWS TO NOT ANOTHER. In the CMD window, type in Each Command and Press <ENTER> Key as follows:

      DiskPart <ENTER>
      list disk <ENTER>
      select disk 0 <ENTER>
      clean <ENTER>
      create partition primary align=1024 <ENTER>
      format fs=ntfs <ENTER> (Will Take a While)
      assign <ENTER>
      active <ENTER>
      exit <ENTER>
      exit <ENTER>
    5. After it completes, exit the INSTALL COMPLETELY and reboot.
    6. Once you are back in, go about installing Windows just DO NOT ALLOW Windows to create a new partition, use the only one there.
    7. Windows will now install
    Hope this helps! Post back if you need further instructions or help :)
