I tried reformatting my computer the other day and half way through the format I got an error message telling me:
Unable to install Windows on this partition. The disk maybe damaged.
Fair enough I thought, the HDD is fairly old (although not rediculously old) so I got a nearly new HDD from another computer and tried reformatting that. Incidently, I did use the manufacturers disk checking utility and it told me my HDD was perfectly ok.
Imagine my suprise when Windows decided to announce:
Unable to install Windows on this partition. The disk maybe damaged!!!
This is crazy. I don't accept that 2 HDD's are faulty and my HDD manufacturer's disk utility seems to agree with me.
What could be the problem?
Could it be a Mobo problem or what?
Any advice you can offer is appreciated.
