hi people!
on my laptop i have no OS installed and no partitions and windows cannot create partitions during installation, the disk cannot be written on apparently, i tried all the prompt commands to rebuild the MBR and other programs like mbrfix and ultimate boot cd but no result...i cannot find a solution to rebuild the MBR and create and format partitions to install windows. i have a dell xps 13 9333 with ssd 256gb, i did the bios tests and all are positive so i cannot understand if it is a hardware problem.
i searched A LOT before asking for help!
during installation when windows tries to format partitions mostly i got error 0x80070057 and once i got error 0x80042404
anybody ANY suggestion on how to rebuild the MBR? Please I'm going crazy any help and advice is greatly appreciated Thanks a lot

samuria and ranger4 thanks as i wrote i did a lot of research and tried that solution too...it worked once then i wanted to clean install win10 so i cleaned the ssd and tried to format again, from that point win7 nor win10 can format the partition for installation, as i wrote i tried other commands (diskpart, chkdsk which says the disk is blocked and cannot repair) and programs like ubcd and mbrfix
bat1 please as soon as you read reply thanks!

i tried to clean the disk with Active@killdisk (hardware level wiping) and result is:
"Cannot update device Fixed Disk 1 (/dev/sda). I/O error"

i run deep bios tests and they are all positive! this is the first problem in years i cannot solve :(

so is my sdd faulty or maybe it's something else like missing drivers, firmware or what?

Go to the drive manufacturer website , they may have a tool for checking/fixing drive problems.
