I don't understand this.
How did you create a new partition when you put in the install DVD and install begins/
Maybe I'm missing something here , bit if you have a empty drive, why can't you run the install here?
Doesnt looks like u have much knowlage about anything ur talking about...
Ofc its clean install, and yes, IT ASKS partition!

First, play nice. people are tying to help you and when someone that may have the solution sees you telling someone that they don't know what they are talking about -- they aren't very motivated to get involved. Just learn to say that didn't work, thank you.
I'm confused, but I think I may have sorted it out .. first you said
just had only 1 hdd connected, deleted all partitions (with win7 install CD)
Then in this message you say it asks partitions
Here is a possiblity... you also said:
" and created new partition "
You don't do that. Just delete ALL partitions then go directly into the install and let the install do what it wants.
Well, your probably right, as sad as this is - windows 7 is for dumb ppl.
Gave the HDD for a friend to test it out when he got time (he got a little biz about computers), and today he told that win7 installs only to full hdd, not to a partition.
What I was trying to do, is split the HDD in 2 parts, always made a partition of 150GB where I tryed to install it...
About reghakr - if all hes doing, is asking me questions what I have been wroten before... Then even if he knows alot and posts alot - I see why he have so much posts, and if he just cant read the problem, and kidna "stupid" asking questions what I have been answered already, it doenst shows that he have some knowlage...
well, About partitions - Im with them! I like partitions... Its easear then buying many HDD's to get some more space for different things...QUOTE]
Partitions waste space. Since partitions can't be filled without getting "out of disk space" errors, ever partition may waste a gb of overhead.
I see absolutly no advantage to making partitions because new folders will work just as well. Should a drive go out the partitions are lost also, ...so backing up to a partition isn't a good plan either.
Add to that the possibility a partition table could be damaged, as the result of a virus, many do that, or bad sector on the drive where the partition tables are stored, or corrupted- that is frequent when partitions are resized..... I'll just buy another hard drive if I think my data has enough value to be worth protecting.
