    Test your HD with the maker's HD Diagnostic extended CD scan.

    If it tests OK then unplug all other HD's and peripherals,

    Boot into BIOS setup to enable Legacy BIOS if present. Next check BIOS Boot order for an EFI Boot Disk and if present remove it, set DVD drive first to boot, HD second. Then set SATA controller to AHCI. Save changes and Exit.

    Then boot into installer DVD or flash stick burned or written using tool and latest ISO for your licensed OS version here.

    At first installer screen Press Shift + F10 to open a Command Box, type:

    DISKPART
    LIST DISK
    SELECT DISK 0 (after confirming Windows 7 target HD #)
    CLEAN
    CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY SIZE=102400 (for 100gb partition, adjust as desired)
    FORMAT FS=NTFS LABEL="WINDOWS 7"
    ACTIVE
    EXIT
    EXIT

    Next click Install Now to Clean Install Windows 7 to the partition you created. If it fails then report back at which step and the verbatim error message.

    In addition read over these steps to understand the tools and methods which work best to get and maintain a perfect Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7. The steps are the same for retail.

    As I said, sounds like a Sata controller problem. If you has an eSata port (which few machines have) and an eSata enclosure, we could test it from there.

    That's OK, just continue with the steps. If it installs, while it's installing then read again Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 closely so you understand how to handle drivers in Win7.

    Friend, I just pass the HD Diagnostic, appeared the following sentence and not continued:

    "DRIVE IS LOCKED"

    All these hds I got to format is an internet company, was it locked so it can not do anything or create a partition?

    thanks...

    When did the message that the drive is locked appear? I asked you to report back at which step it failed.

    Try the Diskpart Clean Command steps you were given to wipe the HD:

    Appears when I send a scan extended.

    Giving error in this part:
    "CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY SIZE=102400" > "diskpart has encountered an error the request could not be performed because of an i/o device error"
