Diskpart I/O error while Partitioning

[reynl07]

Hi everyone,
I am trying to make a partition using command prompt. I need to partition the disks to be formatted in NTFS so I can install Windows 7 on my laptop. I've been doing this before and having no problem with my other laptops. It's my first time to encounter a problem.

I'm on the step where I'll be creating a partition using cmd line
CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY SIZE=307200

But it gives me an error message saying "DiskPart has encountered an error: The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error."

I hope someone could help me figure this out. Thanks in advance!

something is wrong with that disk, bad sectors maybe?
run dban on it and then try diskpart again.

thanks! I'll consider doing this one. But may I ask if there's any other alternative method in using dban? I currently don't have an extra pc to use for downloading and creating a bootable drive. If none, then I'll just wait until I get home so I can try using dban.

no alternative sorry.
it has to be bootable media (CD or USB)

Thanks, then if I've used dban and diskpart but still get error, does that mean I need an hd replacement?
By the way, I tried to make a Hard Disk Test and this is the result.

Looks like you will need a new hard drive.

I guess I need a new one, I couldn't run dban too after creating a bootable one. It keeps showing "no bootable drive". I will just bring it to a technician since I have limited tools to use to check the hard drive. Thanks for helping.
