Drive 0 Unallocated Space with Error: 0x80070017
I've built a new gaming pc. I'm trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64. The installer says Windows can't be installed to this drive. The only options that aren't greyed out are Refresh, Load Driver, and New.
I click New with the default size of 953869 mb, hit Apply, and it comes back with We couldn't create a new partition [Error: 0x80070017].
I've tried formatting with Diskpart and it returns a cyclic redundancy error. Maybe I did it wrong?
Now the bad part. The first time I tried to install, it said it couldn't install to that disk, but I had all the options available. I clicked format. Thinking it had frozen, I removed the usb I was trying to install from and restarted the computer to try again. Turns out that wasn't the brightest move.
Have I destroyed my drive, or is there some hope?
