Stuck during installation w7 - unable to create partition

[Paulusheart]

Installation stuck on "Where do you want to install Windows" window.
There is one disk listed:
"Disk 1 Unallocated Space" Total size: 149.0 GB Free Space: 149.0 GB
After clicking next I am receiving message:
"Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. See the Setup log files for more information"
I have also tried to press "new" then it changed to
"Disk 1 Partition 1" same capacity
Again press next gives the same message. Tried to format it. Again same message.
What may be the problem?
I also had this pc in Raid before but I have removed It as adviced in this thread:

Thanks for answer. The problem is that at first "delete" option is unavailable. It is available after pressing "new".
Message is the same all the time. No matter what I do:
"Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. See the Setup log files for more information"

Get the drivers for the hhd on a cd and load them in the install menu

Please help. My drive is Seagate Barracuda 160GB 7200.9 and there are no drivers on the dell website nor Seagate.

Hi there Paulusheart,

You can try to clean -> partition and format the drive before the installation process, through CMD.

Once you are in Windows setup:
- shift+F10 to bring up the command line.
- diskpart [enter]
- list disk [enter]
- select drive [number] [enter]
- clean all [enter]
- create partition primary [enter]
- select partition 1 [enter]
- active [enter]
- format fs=ntfs [enter]
- assign [enter]
- exit [enter]
- exit [enter]

Hope this will help,
