Installing win 7 on formatted in old laptop

[whs]

So I entered Format fs=nfts without quick and it just Just came up the same thing! Error: parameter is incorrect.

I told you to copy the command from my post #50. You spelled it wrong. Instead of NTFS you put NFTS.

Reset the BIOS to defaults: Clear CMOS - 3 Ways to Clear the CMOS - Reset BIOS

While in the BIOS setup set SATA controller to AHCI to try install.

Unplug all peripherals.

If the problem persists then wipe the HD first with Diskpart Clean Command by accessing the installer Command line this way: DISKPART At PC Startup

I ran a Hard Disk Long test - error code 10008

It is hard to help you when you give such abbreviated replies as the one above. Is this an error you get when trying to boot the HD Diagnostics test CD, or is it something to do with it's reported condition of the HD.

Please tell us exactly what you are running, how you are running it, and when this error code appears. Otherwise we are just guessing.

TWardy, it would be very helpful to all those trying their best to help you if you could grab a digital camera and post shots of the screens you're seeing.

Don't worry guys. Thank you all for your help. Have learnt a lot. Will get some new HDD's and will start again.
