^ That, plus if you have a Vista disk I have found it is by far the best one to use to ready a hdd when problems arise.
when you boot the disc and get to where it asks for the setup onto a drive, there is a way to key up an advanced menu where you can manually format the drive, then install the OS. See if that helps.

Thanks sneekypeet - Yes, in Win7 set-up, I got there and had a few choices one of them being NEW and one being FORMAT. NEW was greyed out so I had to chose Format and after about 10 seconds I got the same "Setup unable to create a new system partition" message...

if 7 is an update, yes you need a real OS to start from, sorry.
I do have another HD with this win7 upgrade installed on it. Would placing this in my mobo work? If so, would I have to plug this HD into sata1, with the second 1.5 new blank hd in sata2, and my cd/dvd player in sata3 or does the mobo sata sequence not matter?
Try it. I bet it will install over the old win7 HDD, but I don't know if it will install onto the new 1.5Gb HDD without first installing winXp. Just try it and see.I do have another HD with this win7 upgrade installed on it. Would placing this in my mobo work?
Shouldn't even need to do either new nor format. Just click on the disk and choose next. It "SHOULD" do all the work for you.

In Win7 installer try delete the partition so the HDD is in a raw format, then select "new" partition(or w/e it is for win7 installer).
Oh crap win7 upgrade? I know from experience that Windows XP upgrade absolutely would not continue unless you either had a previous version of windows installed or a previous windows install CD. Try to do an install of winXp without connecting it to the internet, immediately shut down after first boot, then install win7.

Edit: LOL@ the x4 "oh crap its an upgrade? ya need a real os installed first"

Thanks gamulek - I will give this a try before resorting to booting up with Win NT (My only full version cd).
Thanks gamulek - I will give this a try before resorting to booting up with Win NT (My only full version cd).
You probably wont be able to load Win NT on a system that new, it wont recognise the hardware and ram size, hdd size etc.
I have an odd question on something please - If I have two h-drives, one has win 7 on it with my files from a previous set-up, and the other is my new empty h-drive, why won't my new build setup and BIOS recognize the h-drive with win 7 on it and thus allow me to avoid a reinstall of the win 7 os?
SO I may have to bite the bullet and buy a win 7 full version? I don;t mind as I have always upgraded since Win NT. But will buying the full version allow me to get past this partition block (should your suggestions/tips above in this thread not work out)?
Where can I get a good price on Win 7 full version and could I get it at a store today, i.e., best buy, office max, directron, microcenter, or frys?

To thin out the terminology please refer to "h-drives" as HDs (Hard Drives) or HDDs (Hard Disk Drives). Thanks.
Your system will recognize the HD with win7 on it but it might not boot correctly off that drive. There are some differences in the core files of Windows which vary according to the CPU and mobo you're using (which is mostly unrelated to post-install drivers). The aforementioned files may prevent Win7 from communicating with your hardware and result in the computer freezing, restarting or throwing an unrecoverable error during boot.
You can attempt to boot using the drive with win7 already on it (and it may work) but I strongly recommend doing a clean install for optimal performance.
I'd highly recommend trying the method described on the follow link before you throw away your money:
http://forum.notebookreview.com/win...-7-download-links-just-like-vista-before.html
Also there are lots of ways to mess with the Win7 discs depending on how resilient you are.

A good idea if you don't mind paying for it again, and if you haven't used the upgrade just sell it on here or ebay!
Good luck man!!

Thanks streetfighter 3 -This is pretty new to me but I am willing to try it. So all I need is to download and then use the key extraction program on my current computer (the one I am using right now to converse with you online) to extract the factory win 7 key from this computer and save it to a thumb drive or cd. Then follow the instructions in the link you provided via downloading the three files and then creating an iso file. Is this legal and is there a fee or cost for these files? Following the instructions closely will provide me with a a full version of Win 7 that will allow me to get past the partition block I am stuck on right now using the Win 7 upgrade disk...
Thanks
