I've been trying to do this for several hours with no success.
Im trying to install W7 and when i get to the choosing the drive; i click on 'new' and then it makes a Disk 0 Partition 1:System Reserved and a Disk 0 Partition 2.
Now with the Partition 2, i click on format. But it throws this: 'Error: 0x80070057'
In the BIOS i have AHCI enabled and the only thing plugged in into the SATA ports is this drive im trying to install W7 on.
The drive im trying to install it on is a SSD, Samsung 830 128GB.
Before this trying to do a clean install business, i was encountering BSODs right after the windows animation when its booting. Then after around 3 restarts, it just wouldnt read windows and it just booted straight into the BIOS.
Could my SSD be dead?
Specs for the rest are:
Mobo: ASUS Sabertooth Z87
CPU: i7 4770k
RAM: 8GB Corsair Dominator 1866
GPU: EVGA GTX 780
Im really need the help as im panicking as i need to install windows and do my work for university.
