New harddrive "Couldn't create new partition or locate existing one."
So here's my problem, that I just can't overcome alone.
I'm changing some parts for my cousin's PC and one of them happens to be a new hard drive. I've got everything up and the last thing to do is to install fresh windows on it. However, like many users before me, when I choose this "unallocated" space and press install... I get the: "Couldn't create new partition or locate existing one. " error.
So far I tried the following:
- Start "diskpart" and from there execute clean & create partition primary align=1024
After clean command it is all fine, success etc. But after create partition I get some "CRC error" and nothing happens.
- Running "clean all" from diskpart,
This however takes waaay to long. I've started in the evening, woke up the next day and it still didn't complete. Thus I gave up that idea.
- I've put into my working machine as a secondary in hope that maybe I will be able to do something from windows,
But I can't do jack with it. It's there, I can kind of see it, but whatever I try I get "access denied" or similar message. On top of if check it's properties it says to be "Working properly" but I can't see any parameters at all.I am in a comma now. Can anyone else help me get it running?
