Setup can't create system partition
Hello everyone,
A few days ago i decided on completely reinstalling everything on my computer, but as you can see in the title, i have a problem within the installation of Windows 7. Everytime i try to install it from my USB Flash Drive, i manage to get as far to select wether to upgrade or custom. I pick custom, as all old files have been wiped, but upon selecting my drive to install it on, it gives the error of not being able to create a system partition, and is unable to find an existing one. This happens both when ive created a new partition and formatted it, and when i leave the drive on unallocated space(preffered method)
All other hard drives have been unplugged, and im installing from an USB 3.0 flash drive in a 2.0 port, and all excessive USB devices have been pulled as well.
Ive tried using a method through diskpart, but that failed.
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>
