To repeat;
Did you go to the hd manufactures web site & download/create their bootable
disk checking utility?
If so what was the result? 'doesnt work' / 'tried it' says nothing

Hello, first post here
Any help will be appreciated
I had recent problems with my computer, so I was forced to do a full
re-install of vista. I rebooted my computer, booted up the vista home
premium x64 cd, and when I got to the screen where I had to choose a
hard drive to install vista on, I ran into a problem. First, I tried to
format the drive, wanting a clean restart, and got an error saying vista
could not format the partition on disk 0( I have 1 hardrive with no
partitions) The drive was cleared though, it updated the screen saying
that it had 1000gb/1000gb free. I figured all was well. So I continued
and tried to install vista and got an error saying that "Windows could
not format a partition on disk 0. The error occured while preparing the
partition slected for installation". Setup then immediatly stopped. I
tired forming new partitions, deleting the partitions, but nothing
helped. I tried the load drivers option at the hardrive select screen
and tried every disc that came with my computer, but it kept saying it
cant find the driver. I read on the microsoft website that I might need
to provide the correct drivers for the hard disk controller. But I cant
find it. I have a hitachi Ultrastar A7K1000 *SATA* hardrive model no
HUA721010KLA330. I checked their website and it says they are not
offering drivers anymore. I now have a completely empty hardrive and I
cant install vista. I checked elsewhere I cant find any help.
Whoever can help me will be my savior.
Thanks
Sorry, my bad. Here is the original post.
