Windows 7 install error – cannot create system disk
After few years of hard use i found out that my hdd is dying, some bad sectors appeared on it (1% of the surface).
If you notice slow editor (any) file loading, saving do a hdd check for safety (hdtune), if it’s green you are physically good, the problem might be on your bios or window settings.
Still being a xp user on a multiple core notebook in w7 era and with my friends bugging me to install a better os (not best) i said to give it a try.
Do you think microsft made the install easier? NO!
On disk chooser menu I got “can’t create a system disk” with no other explanation, even you select the right disk / partition. Then, what’s wrong?
After few searches and reboots I found a solution: w7 install doesn’t like usb hdd’s plugged into your computer, and that is weird logic in my opinion.
Way to go Microsoft !
