Setup was unable to create a new system partition

[MIIFOO]

Hello Tom's community,

So I have attempted to clean install my pc (win7 32bit). On the screen that I am supposed to choose the disk that I want to perform the installation of win7 after I had selected the disk instead of pressing the format choice I pressed the delete. Now when I attempt to clean install on this disk it shows this error: "setup was unable to create a new system partition". In addition when I let my pc to open without booting the installation driver it shows the 0cx000000f error.

Thanks in advance!


P.s. I have attempted the following steps but failed at the step of the "cd boot" command as it said that this path does not exist

Boot windows installation from USB drive
Press Shift+F10
In console type diskpart.exe and press enter. In this program execute following:
select disk=0. Disk 0 is your destination drive, so be careful, all information on this drive will be removed.
create partition primary size=xxx, where xxx – is the size of new partition
select partition=1
active
format fs=ntfs quick
assign
exit, now you have bootable drive C
Navigate to USB flash drive, in my case: cd d:
Copy all files from USB drive to C: drive: xcopy d: c: /e /h /k
Go to boot folder: cd boot
Make you C: drive bootable with following command: bootsect /nt60 c:
Put off USB drive from computer and restart them.
Install Windows

Boot from the USB drive, then shit the Shift F10 at the disk screen and type this

DiskPart <ENTER>
list disk <ENTER>
select disk 0 <ENTER>
clean <ENTER>
create partition primary align=1024 <ENTER>
format fs=ntfs <ENTER> (Will Take a While)
assign <ENTER>
active <ENTER>
exit <ENTER>
exit <ENTER>

see if that lets you install windows.

Also PC specs? hard drive type? hard drive could be failing as well.

Sorry for the late response.
It was a failed hard drive!.
