Can't create partition or locate existing one, laptop
Sorry, I know that there are a lot of posts about this but I have tried several solutions and they didnt work, Im lost.
HP laptop DV7-2230es, NO SSD, there are two hard disks at 7200rpm.
I previously installed Windows 7 in this laptop, I think the only thing that changed is that I updated the BIOS from 1.35 to 1.45 so that could be the problem. Its an insydeh20 3.5 BIOS.
I tried to format with untouched DVD ISO of Windows 7. I removed the previous partition leaving one HDD empty, created a partition of 100GB (HDD is 320GB, so 220GB of non used space), then when clicking on next this error appears.
Im also trying a Rufus made USB, but it doesnt work either, same error.
Could you help me, please?
