diskpart has encountered an error, during "clean", I/O device error
I am trying to do a clean install on an HP laptop. After many tries (and days), still to no avail.
Before, the install would get started and progress to 6% or 14%. Right now, it fails at 0%. (08x... error).
I read the tutorial on using diskpart. This is where I get the error now: DiskPart has encountered an error: The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error. See the System Event Log for more information.
I tried the diskpart with the HD connected to another computer and there it worked. (I ran chkdsk /r before which did not find errors on the HD. And I could load Win7 on it. In my opinion ruling out the Installation disk and HD) But obviously, the installation of Windows after the diskpart, with the HD back in the laptop, still failed.
As I suspected HW I have changed HD, MB and CPU.
I have changed from Windows installer on DVD to Windows installer on USB.
What am I missing?
I have another HP laptop, that I can use every now and then for trouble shooting. Albeit not identical.
Really don't know what to try next. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
