Random BSOD, error 0x101

[Maesen]

Okay. New SSD came in (PNY 120gb). Installed all the good stuff.

Since I planned on installing Windows 7 64 bits on it and start over from there, I unplugged all other drives as well as useless USB peripherals. I even removed 8gb outta my 16gb setup.

Went in BIOS and set the SSD as AHCI (or something like that). Rebooted on Windows 7 DVD. Pressed SHIFT+F10.

In the Command Prompt, I did the following command:

DISKPART
LIST DISK
SELECT DISK 0
DETAIL DISK (to make sure you got the hard disk)
CLEAN
EXIT
EXIT (this one gets you back into the install program.

Then went on and clicked INSTALL.
Chose my disk, then selected NEXT.

Then boom. Windows Cannot be installed on this disk (Error 0x80070057).

What do I do from there?

In DISKPART, DISK 0 is usually the DVD drive. Can you double-check that please? You should have a DISK 0 and a DISK 1.

Only has Disk 0 which has 111gb (SSD is 120gb so that is the right one)View attachment 322526

OK. Are you installing from a USB3.0 port, or USB2.0 port out of interest.

Anyway, back in DISKPART, try this hitting enter after each command:

select disk 0
create primary partition
format fs=ntfs

Now exit, and try to continue installing to the newly created partition that you should see.

None? Its the Windows 7 DVD.

 

[Golden]

OK. See the additional commands that I gave.

How do I do exactly?View attachment 322528

EDIT: I made it, it is CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY. It is now formating in NTFS. 20% so far.

 

[Golden]

In diskpart, please type:

list volume

Show photo of the results please.

I will make a thread specifically for this problem tomorrow. I'll make a write-up as to where we were and I hope you will chime in to help me some more!

Thank you so far for ALL the help you gave me, Golden. I really appreciate your time.

I am off to bed, I'll be back in a few hours.

Goodnight!
