[Debugger/Hadware] Windows7 Installer cannot detect hard drive during installation

when the installation cannot detect the hard drive, there are several workable way to fix that

  1. reason: unknown
    • Solution:
    • run diskpart command from a prompt.
      Then each of these commands, followed by the enter key after each one.
      list disk (to show the ID number of the hard disk to partition, normally Disk 0)
      select disk 0 (change 0 to another number if applicable)
      clean (this deletes all partitions)
      create partition primary size=80000 (creates a partition with 80 GB space; to use the entire disk as one partition, omit the “size=value” parameter switch; use a similar command to create more partitions if needed or create in Windows 7 after installation)
      select partition 1
      active
      format fs=ntfs quick
      exit
  2. reason: unknown
    • solution: use linux live enter the system usb and delete all the partitions (tried in Linux mint 13)
  3. reason: Partition cannot be detected
    • Solution: Use another computer and set the Hard drive partition. and the windows installer can find the partition
Fail trial:
  1. create MBR in other windows 7 OS
