Alright, so I bought a new hard drive and I've been trying to install Windows for the past couple of days. I put in my new hard drive and the first time I tried installing Windows it gave me some kind of error which I don't remember what it said but I know I looked around and I took out a stick of ram to try to fix it. Mind you this was the furthest I got installing Windows 7 on my new hard drive. It was at the expanding window files or whatever stage when the error occured.
Afterwards, I started to recieve a new error saying something like, "Setup was unable to create a new system partition" or something of those lines when I tried clicking Next after selecting which place I'd like to install Windows on. I then researched that and some people fixed it by making the hard drive the first bootable option in BIOS and unplugging any unncessecary USB things, so I unplugged my printer. That error then decided to go away, but of course, another one came up.
Now, I am faced with this: "error 0x80300024". I researched this and tried several things in attempting to fix it, such as the "list disk" "select disk 0" "clean" etc. After I'd do the "clean" thing, it would say, "Disk has been cleaned", Then I was instructed to do the "create system partition" step, but it said something like the cache was corrupt and could not continue.
Here are my system specs:
Nvidia 9800 GT
New hard drive I ordered(copy and pasted from email):Western Digital WD Black WD1002FAEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive - OEM
Asus P5KPL-CM motherboard
Anybody have any ideas?
