Windows Installation Error (2 Viewers)

[nosubstitute959]

I hope someone will be able to help me.

I've just built a computer and I tried installing Windows on it. So I format the HDD in NTFS (only option given) and when it was done, it gave me the following error message:

'Setup was unable to format the partition. The disk may be damaged.

Make sure the drive is switched on and properly connected to your computer. If the disk is a SCSI disk, make sure your SCSI devices are properly terminated. Consult your computer manual or SCSI adapter documentation for more information.'


I don't think the disk is damaged because its capacity was shown on the screen.



Please tell me where to go from here. I'd appreciate it as I'm lost. :down:

But I paid too much for that. :frown: Good idea though.



and Majed.......that's nice to know.


This $hit is buggin me. I'm afraid I did something wrong putting it together. :down:

 

[Majed]

I really find it fascinating how you put together the PC and you've never even installed windows before!

 

[nosubstitute959]

It's called the Internet.


BTW.......my comment doesn't entitle you to suggest that to solve my problem......so don't even think about it. :irritate:

Forget windows, install something else

Sounds like a problem with the harddrive, if that's the case there's nothing you can do..

hehehehehe

 

[nosubstitute959]

I wouldn't know how to use linux


So the fact that during the setup the correct capacity of the drive was shown doesn't necessarily mean it's not damaged?

 

[Martin]

Well I suppose it could happen it somehow got damaged during the setup.

 

[Zlatan]

My advice is that you let a professional do it.

 

[nosubstitute959]

They charge too much.

 

[Slagathor]

You don't have one of them computer geeks in the family or something?

 

[nosubstitute959]

nope...they put their hopes in me and I failed them.

 

[Slagathor]

Bummer...

Wanna beer?

 

[nosubstitute959]

Can't.......remember.
