I received two computers, and they are both having identical problems. I am booting from USB and I see the hard drive, but I get this message "Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition
. Searching this there were multiple people that had success with using the disk part utility. I ran the utility twice, on BOTH computers and I was still getting the same errors.
I was getting this error message:
I went into disk part and asked for disk attributes and I got that my disk had boot disk set to no.
How do I change this? I reset my bios, and I removed all devices from the boot sequence except for my HardDrive and my USB that contains Windows 7.
Other notes: With no usb in the computer the computer complains about bootmgr missing, but this is useless because I want to do a clean install anyway.
