Unable To Format A System Drive

May 29, 2009

So to give an idea of whats going on: D: Drive is where Vista USED to be. C: Is where I put 7. E: Is a small drive I dropped in for XP.

Now that 7 is on C: I have no real use for Vista and want to format D: for storage of all non-system files. However its not letting me delete all the files (it shows about 50+ GB os files in D:Program Files and D:Windows from the old installation) OR Format the drive because it treats is as a system drive. Any way around this?

Dell 1545 Inspiron - Unable To Format Drive?

Jul 4, 2010

I have a dell 1545 inspiron and I am trying to format all the drives and do a clean install of vista until I get windows 7 pretty soon. I am doing a clean install because I found a rootkit (gecko-crash) when I ran a housecall online scan. I was able to format the F drive which was vista recovery drive. But D is a system drive and contains some system files, some of which I don't recognize and one folder is titled 'Boot'. I can copy other files to D(which means viruses can copy themselves to it) and I have to format it because it might be infected as well but can't be formatted.. I keep getting 'can't format D system drive' messages.Btw I have ran spyware doctor scan, online house-call scan and nothing has showed up. But the system was kinda slow and I have to do a clean install now.

Unable To Format Windows 7?

Jan 29, 2011

I've gotten a copy of Windows 7 prof last year and it had worked perfectly. Recently I've decided to give my hdd a format, and when I tried to install Windows 7, I got to the welcome screen, asking me for a user and pw log.

I have never set any password on this computer before the format, and have never set any administrator password at all! I used to switch on the computer, and let it boot all the way to my desktop without needing to key in anything.

Unable To Use Adv Format Drives?

Aug 4, 2012

I bought two new Western Digital AV-GP WD3200AUDX drives. They're advanced format drives designed for audio-video editing folks, but essentially they're just a bit better than any standard SATA drive (per reviews I've read).

My Config:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64
Asus P6T Deluxe V2
2x WD AV-GP drives (320GB each, RAID0)

I would install them into a RAID0 (striping) configuration and then install Win7 Home Premium 64. The problem is that if I enable RAID in the BIOS, windows WILL NOT recognize these drives and thus I can't install to them. I saw that there's a problem with earlier versions of Intel RST and that you can either download new drivers or upgrade to Win7 SP1 which includes the fix.[URL]

Problem: I can't install, so I can't use the new drivers. The driver disk they have available for installation is (a) meant for XP and such, not Win7... and (b) doesn't work anyhow.Another Problem: I installed Win7 to a separate drive in IDE mode and upgraded to SP1, but now Windows has a boot loop and windows startup repair is telling me SP1 is the issue. The theory here was that I would get SP1 up and running with the drivers, then tell Windows to do an upgrade/clean install over to the new RAID drive (which it would hopefully recognize now) and download updates prior to the installation, thus enabling it to work during install.The only thing I can try doing (that I haven't yet) is updating the BIOS, but none of the newer updates mention anything about drives or storage compability, so I don't think it'll have any effect.

Unable To Format/Delete Old Partition?

Feb 10, 2011

I recently upgrade my entire computer, with it i brought a 2TB WD HDD. I set everything up, installed Windows 7 and updated all my drivers/etc.

I then moved my old 3x 1TB drives over, in it, one partition had my old Windows 7, I am unable to format/delete windows folder/program files. One HDD had my old Vista partition, same story..i can't format/delete.

What i basically want to do is, take those 3 drives, format and re-set them into 1TB 1 Parition drives. Now i have 1.6TB space left on my 2TB drive, so i can put one entire drive over and format the old, repartition to 1...

How can i get about this? I don't understand why the boot system will have problems because when i installed Windows 7 it had no other drives to see..

Windows 7 Will Not Format Drive?

Jan 3, 2011

It ran okay for a while, but started to freeze up. Anything that was in the RAM would load fine, but nothing new would load from the HDD.I decided to install Windows 7 x32 on the machine to see if anything changed. It seemed to run normally, so I thought that maybe something went awry in the first installation.I tried installing x64 again, but this time, when I went to format the drive, I got the following error:"Windows cannot format your drive (0x80070057)"I've tried this several times, deleted all partitions on the drive, and tried again. I get the same error each time. I'm beginning to think maybe the drive is faulty.
