So you want to start with a total empty physical drive? Really nothing on it?

Katak,

Use your Win 7 DVD to "clean" your hard drive.

GO TO A COMMAND PROMPT
USING YOUR WIN 7 DVD/UFD



BOOT TO A COMMAND PROMPT USING A WIN 7 DVD/USB STICK
Ø Insert your Win 7 DVD or Win 7 USB
Ø Power down your computer.
Ø Power up your computer.
Ø Boot up your computer from the Win 7 DVD/USB stick.
Ø When a screen is displayed asking for the Language to Install,
press the key combo of SHIFT + F10.
Do NOT click on Next.
Press the SHIFT + F10 key combo.

You will have a X:\Sources> command prompt.
X: is a ram drive created by Windows 7.
X: contains a mini-version of Windows 7 called a PE (pre-execution environment).

If you do not plan on installing windows at this time, you may now remove the DVD/USB stick.

If you plan on continuing with an install, then do not remove.

Execute the desired commands.
Use the EXIT command to return to the Win 7 installation procedure.
NOTE: UFD = Usb Flash Device = usb stick = pendrive = thumb drive
==================================================

That showed you how to get to a command prompt.

Here is how to prepare the hard disk once you are at the command prompt:

type these commands,following each by hitting the ENTER key:

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.

After using the Command Promt

Hi i have been having the same problem and have followed the command prompt steps.

After using the command prompt I deleted and created a new partition, when selecting where to select where to install windows I receive the following error: " Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. See the setup log files for more information."

Unfortunately I am not sure where to find the setup log files.

I have same problem, and when I wrote command CLEAN the answer was ”DiskPart has encountered an error: The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error. See the System Event Log for mor Information.” and when I wanted to install Windows 7 it did not work.
