[QUOTE="JiSingh12, post: 770966, member: 74685"] Ah, well the error [B]could be[/B] down to the ISO image, if using a CD, try cleaning it.. [B]OR[/B] it could be something to do with the drive itself. I have looked online a bit, so we can try something if it is down to the hard drive. So.. Re-insert your installation media, and when you get to the screen where it asks you to choose a language and keyboard method etc., press "Shift + F10'. This should open up a command prompt terminal. 1. Now Type diskpart, and press enter. 2. Now type list disk. (This will list any connected drives) 3. Now type select disk # (Replace the # with the correct drive number from previous step) then press enter. you should get the "Disk # is now the selected disk" message. 4. Now type clean. (or you can type clean all , if you want a more deep/secure erase which takes longer). 5. Once it is done, to quit the terminal, type exit, and press enter, and then do it once more, now go to carry on the installation. 6. At the disk page, create a new partition which will be your C: Drive. Let me know if you was able to create the partition. [/QUOTE]
