Solved My disk won't format

[Jdrakoulas]

So I've passed idk how many days looking up the errors I got all the times I tried to format my pc so I came to an end
I got an error 0x80070057 which is solved by formatting the disk before you install the windows but when I hit the format after a bit it cannot be done for the exact same error anyone who could assist??

Welcome to the forum how are you formatting it you can't format if you boot from the drive as it will be locked best option is to boot install DVD then delete partition and let windows create and format

 

[AddRAM]

Create and use a Partition Wizard Boot cd to setup and format your drive.

Bootable Partition Manager| MiniTool Partition Wizard Bootable Edition

or as stated above use your install dvd.

Clean Install Windows 7


But maybe you have a bad hard drive ??

Just a thought.

Could it be you are trying to format partition "C" Windows 7 install, while you are booted with partition "C"?

I didn't get that honestly , my C is clear literally it has nothing on it neither from the back up files nor anything else I've cleaned a few times

We suggested you leave the disk blank with no partitions no format and let windows do it did you try this?

 

[Jdrakoulas]

I'm trying it right now but it's copying files for like 40 minutes as usual possibly it will show me the same error
I think I destroyed my motherboard after what I read at clean windows 7 thing someone was way to clever so he experimented with BIOS

 

[Jdrakoulas]

I've just tried it same it was canceled for the same error but the funny thing is that it actually made the partitions like 100mb for the system and the primary one

Please edit your profile and add all hardware information.
What BIOS you have, Legacy - MBR or UEFI - GPT?
What Windows are you trying to install? 32 or 64 bits?
If you don't give us all the information, we are shooting in the dark.

Wait wait a big change the second time when I tried to install the windows it actually loaded the files after a bit though a message poped up saying something that "make sure all the files are available for the install " or something like that .

 

[Jdrakoulas]

The hardware is updated kind off whatever I could find anyway, as for the BIOS I have no idea I'm trying to install windows 7 professional 32 bits

 

[Megahertz07]

As you only have 2G of memory you should install win 7 32 bits as you intended.
Follow this steps and you're will have it done.

A general question when you choose which windows you want to install everything has to have that x86 right?

 

[Jdrakoulas]

"Windows cannot install required files. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation " I hit OK then after a bit another error pops up
" the application was unable to start correctly (0x0000006).click OK to close the application" it happens whenever it is about to extract the files. Any assistance with that would be much appreciated

 

[ignatzatsonic]

Exactly what media are you using to install?

Something you bought? Where?

Something you downloaded? Where?

Something you burned to a DVD?

Something you put on a USB flash drive?

Something you borrowed?

 

[Jdrakoulas]

It is a DVD that it came along with my computer I think it misses some files I don't know why though

Bad install disc, you have to create another install dvd or usb stick.

Let us know what version of windows you want and what language and we will post the Microsoft link to let you download a fresh iso file, you can use that to create a new install dvd or usb stick.

Window's 7 proffesional 32 bits language doesn't really matter Greeks would be cool but I'm fine with English too also a big thanks to those who assisted, it is much appreciated
