i assembled a computer and i am installing windows 7 on it. however, when the setup gets to the part where i choose a harddrive to do the setup on, i get an error saying that the system cant partition the drive? im getting desperate ive been trying to install my computer for 2 days but to no avail...

Is it a dual boot that you are trying to create? Do u have an os already installed or it's a fresh install
