Setup could not create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition

After the removal of ubuntu, I decided to reinstall windows 7. To my surprise even after formatting the drive to NTFS, I get the following error when you try to install, "Setup was unable to create a new partition system or locate an existing partition in the system."

I would appreciate it if explain you how to fix this, rather than post links.

Use the Creation Wizard to Partition (free version): http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html

First create a bootable CD: http://www.partitionwizard.com/partition-wizard-bootable-cd.html

Boot from the CD and Partition Wizard to delete all existing partitions and rebuild the Master Boot Record (MBR).

Then using partition Wizard create a 350 MB NTFS partition, mark it as a 'System' and 'active '.

Then, create a partition for Windows 7.

Boot from the Windows 7 installation media, and when asked where you want to install Windows select the partition that you created for Windows using the Assistant Creation of Partition.

  • Setup could not create a new partition system

    Ok.  I just built a new rig.  ASUS P55 intel chipset mobo.  I have two WD Caviar Black hard drives and a RAID-1 array.

    I installed my OEM WIN-7-64 operating system several times.  Mostly because my WUSB54GC Linksys adapter wireless crashes my OS WIN because of a compatibility problem.

    Long story short: the last time my OS crashed he would not be stopped, kept grinding and grinding so I stopped it "hard."  Then when I tried to restart it kept a black window stall without launching.  So I decided to start over with a clean install.

    Big mistake!

    When I got to the place where you want to install? I had onlyl only one possibility, I created a RAID-1 array with 1 TB WD caviar drives two of the screen.  Then, I started to FORMAT it the disc for the drive I want to install WIN 7-64 on.  That was the big mistake.  Previously, I was able to install WIN 7 several times, but after formatting the HARD drive, I received the message "Setup could not create a new partition system.  I can't find the logs and I tried all of the suggestions that I have found here and does not.

    I have an ASUS P55-Deluxe mobo with two 1 to WD Caviar black HDs in a matrix RAID-1.

    I tried to reinstall WIN 7, with the HDD BIOS on IDE.  It worked once in what concerns the installation of the OS, but whenever I try to recreate the RAID array, I get the bloody message "Setup could not create a new partition system!

    I tried using partition of drive on BACK in but nothing works.

    Of course, here, someone has the same problem and has a solution.

    Help, please!

    Hi Steve,.

    On another forum, I read to remove the battery from the motherboard and wait 10 minutes before turning.  Not only did it clears the CMOS memory, but "remains".  After that, I was able to partition my RAID-1 disk, format the partition, load my drivers and install WIN 7.

    Thanks for the quick response!

  • Install Windows 7 on Dell laptop, error "Setup could not create a new partition system or locate an existing partition.

    I had Windows Vista ultimate on my Dell Studio laptop which consisted of 3 partitions (OS, recovery and OME).

    In order to complete a clean install, I deleted all partitions and create a new 1 and formatted it, but I am informed that the installation was unable to create a new partition system or locate an existing partition.

    I tried in IDE and ACHI, but neither enable Sir to go beyond that. I am booting from the CD with Windows 7.  If someone is able to help, they explain in layman's terms, as I am a relative novice.

    Thank you

    As the drive was provided by Dell, you need to talk with them.

    The disc could be waiting to see the things that you have deleted.

    It can also be a type of completely different facility than the normal installation of Microsoft discs.

    You would have more than likely been OK if you would leave the formatting alone and partitoning.

    Hello

    I solved the problem. It seems that you can not install on a secondary partition with in an earlier version of windows. You must restart the computer and run the installation from a dvd or other media.  Once you get the installation running you should be able to install on another partition without any problems.
