Hello ,
I used windows vista diskpart utility to create a partiton , then formatted the partition with 64K cluster size under the NTFS file system . When I tried installing windows XP , the Pre-Setup blue screen loads drivers and other pre setup stuff but when it reaches the "ready to install windows" I get a blue screen of death suggesting my hard drive might have a virus or problem and that I should run chkdsk . I did on windows vista setting on automatically find and recover bad sectors . NO PROBLEMS were found . I used the Windows Vista memory diagnostic tool to check my memory also no errors were found . I tried using your diagnostic utility both for win/dos and recieved "requires elevetion" on windows Vista SP2 and it hanged on its pc version .
I Used Seagate disk check utilities all basic tests and all passed green . My system info :
Asus p8p67 motherboard
CPU : intel core i5-2500k
RAM : Crucial 2*2GB PC1600
GPU : EVGA Geforce 550 gtx ti
HDD : Western Digital Caviar Black 500 GB 7200RPM 32 MB Cache , Model Number WD5002AALX
I even tried deleting the partition and starting windows xp SP3 with same results . I tried installing windows Vista and then installing windows XP same blue screen of death . blue screen of death technical code :0x000007B
Now does this hard drive support windows XP SP3 or not ? And how can I reset my hard drive totally to see maybe that fixes the problem , your utility says it needs elevation on windows vista and doesnt run from the command prompt(the dos version) .
And is my hard needs Advanced format ? Im planning windows xp/vista/7 triple boot . Also should I use WD align utility ? These all of course after I got my problem fixed . and BTW the drive is brand new .
