Windows can't be installed - Must Be Installed on Partition NTFS
I had someone put Unbuntu on my computer and I don't like it. I am trying to install Windows 7 Home Premium. I was able to erase Unbuntu and have installed the Windows 7 Disk. I install it in safe mode but I keep getting stuck, states that
"Windows cannot be installed in the hard drive space. Windows must be installed into a partition formatted as NTFS. Windows cannot be installed to the hard disk space. The partition is of an unrecognized type." I have downloaded from a link in this forum what I thought were the drivers needed. That did not help the situation. In the help section of the computer, it states I can use the "advanced set up" and load the create a partition but I am not having any luck there either.
I am sorry that I don't know much about the specs of this desktop.
Please help. I would greatly appreciate any help. I am not an IT person; everything I know is learned by research or asking others.
Thanks so much for any input.
