Do you speak or read French? While I'm not familiar with that behavior of the Windows 8 installation, it's saying that the disk is about to fail and so it cannot (I suspect will not) install Win8 to it. If Mint doesn't do a disk health check before its installation, that would explain why Mint installs.

A few questions if I may. What kind of PC is that - store-built, home-built, new, old, notebook, desktop? What OS did it come with, if store built? Do you have access to another disk drive that will fit in it, so you could try the installation on the other drive?

Would you be willing to download and boot off of, say, the Parted Magic distribution to check the disk's SMART statistics and do disk tests? My first guess here is that there is a problem with the hard drive or possibly the controller. If the hard drive, using another one will solve the problem. If the controller, you may be out of luck.

See this link for a similar case.

well.. i can read french.
Notebook Hp pavillion g6
windows 7
i have only one disk drive
actually the laptop say in each start that there's a hard disk problem
and it make a full test hard disk of hp or something like that and failed at the end
well the problem clearly in the hard but i'm trying to found a solution to fix it after change it at the end

I strongly suggest that you replace the disk first. I think it's a standard 2.8" SATA part.
If the installation process is coded to refuse to install to a disk whose SMART statistics say that it is failing, then you probably can't install it to a disk whose SMART statistics say that it is failing.

ok.. thank you very much sir.

If you do get a new drive, please let me know if your install works. I'm curious. I had never seen that message before.

Good luck.
