Windows 7 Ult. X64 unable to create partition
Dear all,
As this kind of thread is already been made years ago, I would like to re-open a new one as I cannot figure it out to solve the problem.
I had a pc with a Core i3 CPU, and 12gb DDR3 RAM and I decided to do a massive upgrade for 950 euros of hardware and now I have set up a new case with an MSi Titanium Z270 motherboard and a CPU Intel core i7, 7700K LGA1151.
Installed with success though, no complications and everything runs like a charm.
Although, my existing Windows 7 Ultimate x64 installation didn't really start normally and had a blue screen which is obvious. So I decided to format my hard drive and do a clean install of Windows 7 from the very same DVD I used to install my now existing installation.
Only this time I encountered the error which more people are facing when installing Win7, "Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition".
I tried to install Win7 from this DVD to another clean pc and had the same error so it is not my pc that's failing.
The funny thing is, I also have a copy of Win7 Ult. X86 and that one installs smooth without any complications!
Is it just my cd or is this version of Windows corrupted?
Please help me Obi-wan Kenobi, you're my only hope!
