Hello to everyone! I have a problem of installing windows 7 ultimate 32 bit on my notebook Packard Bell dot s. I've made my usb stick bootable by using "Windows 7 usb/dvd download tool". My notebook recognise it and start the installation but every time I got stuck on "Where do you want to install Windows". When i choose "next" it give me "Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition.See the setup log files for more information. I followed this steps,found in this forum: DiskPart <ENTER>
list disk <ENTER>
select disk 0 <ENTER>
clean all <ENTER> (Will Take a While)
create partition primary align=1024 <ENTER>
format fs=ntfs <ENTER> (Will Take a While)
assign <ENTER>
active <ENTER>
exit <ENTER>
exit <ENTER>

So I managed to create disk C obviously,here's my pic: I dont know if you see it. So made my local disk C,but the installation dont begin...

I set "clean all",and waited too long,the system just froze,then tried "create partition primary align=1024 <ENTER>" but it didnt allow me with the message that the disk is being cleaned,so I go back and made the same steps but without clean all but "format fs=ntfs <ENTER>" and waited at about 30 minutes... then tried again to return to the install,but got the same message "setup was unable to create new partition....". Then checked for drivers and I dont know exactly where I was and saw this (on my pic) The problem is that my usb flash have two partitions- secure F and public G,but here I see there are changes-secure F is secure D,and public G is Removable disk E...I just dont know how to procees and to find some drivers that the installer want me to load...I am not sure if i understand you... I make a fresh install-yes.

disk 0 partition 1 is the only thing you have to select. Is it really an active partition?!
"Setup was unable to create a new system partition..." ??? There's no need to create a new system partition. No dvd drive in that notebook?

Hmm,disk 1 is the second part of my usb stick(I told you that it has 2 parts,dont know why-secure F,and public G). And this disk 2 is probably the other part(public G). So disk 0 remain to be my HDD? My HDD is 320gb...So I guess i have to choose disk 2 then?
