Solved error code 0x80070057 while installing W7

[PineApple555]

Hi,

So I installed windows 8 but I didn't like it so much, no problem so far.
But then a few days ago my laptop freezed during the bootup and when i turned it on it was like an half an hour to start and then when I got into the dekstop everything was running so slow! You couldn't even open textpad or something. So I stopped my downloaded windows 7 installation cd into my laptop and did everything till i came to the partitions. There (as I read) deleted all the partitions and made 2 new ones( 1 for windows and 1 for games and so on. Then I click on next and i get a error code: something like : couldn't format the hard drive. error code 0x8007005
I tried the DISK PART thing and nothing other happened.
I tried to do in the BIOS from IDE to AHCI and backwards, nothing worked.

What am I supposed to do now?
Thanks in advance!
(sorry for bad grammar if there is any, I'm from Holland)

Work through the steps for Overcoming Windows 7 Installation Failures - Windows 7 Help Forums

If these all fail, then test your HD with the maker's HD Diagnostic extended CD scan.

Allright, thankyou very much for your advice!
i'll do it tomorow after school, it'a now 22;50 here in Holland

at step 6 in the troubleshoot menu when I entered; format fs=ntfs label="windows 7" there came 0 procent and it stayed like that for 1min and then there came a error saying; there is a mistake in the diskpart: the parameter is uncorrect/wrong. (own translation from dutch)
please help?

Starting to look more like a disk problem. If you can't get it to format I'd test the HD with maker's HD Diagnostic extended CD scan, followed by Disk Check from the installer's command line.

Can someone tell me what hard drive I have on my asus n56vz-s4035v so I can do a hd test and In case i need to buy a new one if it's broken

 

[PineApple555]

I saw in another forum that in stead of clean i also could use clean all so I did that and them am error came that said; there is a mistake in the diskpart; the device is not connected.
Does this mean I only need to reattach the sata cabels or something?

 

[PineApple555]

no one?

 

[PineApple555]

I tried Seagate tools and it couldn't find a Hard Drive?
Please someone help.

 

[PineApple555]

In the bios it finds the hd with the name P0:and here a long code

 

[PineApple555]

And without the HD it boots to BIOS in 2 sec and with HD I press F2 and then still like 10-30 seconds

 

[PineApple555]

When I changed AHCI to IDE in the BIOS it found the HD, so sorry for so many posts. I will run the long test now

 

[PineApple555]

When running the long test the test failed and said:
The Drive is not responding to commands. Check cables and drive power connection.

What should i do now?

Sounding more like a failing HD. You can try reseating it in its compartment underneath the laptop. If you google your exact make/model + replace hard drive you may find a video showing how to access it, or go to the Support Downloads webpage for your model PC to read the Manual or look at the Support pages for help on this.

Once you reseat the HD firmly then try the test again.

If it continues to fail then replace it. The best upgrade one can get now is an SSD which is lightning fast with prices falling now to around $50 per 120 gb if you search: http://www.sevenforums.com/pc-custom-builds-overclocking/75383-best-deals-day-30.html#post2928386

I already reseated it and it didn't work, so I'm going to buy a new SSD.

 

[PineApple555]

Thankyou for al your help!
Now I'm going to buy a new SSD for my laptop and i have one last question.
Will the Samsung 850 PRO 256GB 2.5 inch fit in my asus n56vz?(my hdd is also 2.5 inch)
And do I just put the new SSD in and then install windows 7 and everything will be OK?

 

[gregrocker]

Yes, it's the same size so it should install into the drive bay just like the other one. If it needs something to take up space there is normally a cushioning pad included to make it fit snugly.

The only illustration I can find is page 64-5 of Manual here: Notebooks & Ultrabooks - N56VZ - ASUS

 

[PineApple555]

Well thankyou!
And I don't seem to see what you're seeing on page 73-4. Here it is something with bluethoot ?
