"Setup was unable to create a new system partition" even after format
I had a completely unexpected system failure while I was checking my email one day. Windows shut down unexpectedly. When I restarted, there was no OS detected.
Afterwards, I decided to do a fresh install of 7 from a bootable USB. During install, I was unable to install to my SDD when windows said only 32 MB were available. I deleted all partitions using through Windows installation. Still no luck after that so I decided to try and install onto my HDD after yet another clean and wipe through both Windows installation and Parted Magic (which was still was unable to do anything with my SDD).
After all that, I still continued to get the error message "Setup was unable to create a new system partition" so I went in and created a new partition through the command prompt, which I had to remove a stick of ram in order to accomplish.
After "successfully" creating the new partition, I still continue to get the same error.
