Cannot install Windows 7, help please
Hey guys, I am a new user here, have a problem installing windows 7,
Stuck on "Failed to create a partition on the selected unused space" Error 0x8007045d.
i will try to explain step by step what happened:
Was running Windows XP on a Dell Inspiron Laptop
Wanted to do Factory Image Restore
An error occured, and when I tried rebooting it gave me a blue screen error page
Did not get onto XP system again
Now I thought I may try installing Windows 7 to correct it
I was unable to install it, it failed after trying many times
"When I try normally starting the computer it comes with this error : "No boot sector on Internal Hard Drive"
When I try installing Windows 7, the part where it asks me which drive to install it, I select the only drive shown, which has about 149gb of 149gb free, it does not let me (says Windows cannot be installed on this drive).
Does not let me format the drive either.
Please help.
Thank you
