Cannot install Windows 7?

Hello!

I re-formated my C:/ drive completly with Linux Live CD yesterday, to install Windows 7 again on a 40GB partition on my 1TB drive.

I make a partition on 40GB, and I formate it as NTFS in Linux.
Then, I boot up with my WIndows 7 inserted to install the OS.

I get this error when I try to install on my 40GB partition:

"Installationprogram cannot make a new systempartition or find a excisting systempartition."

I tried to install it on my remaining 860GB harddive, but still the same error.

NOTE: The PC has NO operatingsystem at the moment.


Please help me!

Why pre-format the drive using Linux, risking conflicting format?

The Win7 DVD has these tools built in.

Delete the formatting and use the Win7 DVD.

I tried the tools that Windows 7 DVD comes with, but still no luck.

I\m not trying to install the operatingsystem on the raid harddrives, but on a partition on my non/raid 1TB drive.

Hemulen, pls confirm you are selecting a Clean Install (check this tutorial for details)

Believe me, I am.

I've been checking out "Ultimate Boot CD V4.1.1"
Is anyone familiar with this Live CD, or can it help me with my problem?

Its "striped" in Windows 7, a do not have a RAID-Controller.
