I put another older HDD into a clients computer and tried to reinstall windows but this error comes up as soon as files are about to copy over.
Windows could not format a partition disc 0. The error occurred while preparing the partition for installation. Error code:0x80070057 .
I tried doing a slow format of the partition in the recovery console which tool 3 hours only to throw an vague error message as soon as it hit 100% The old drive I took out apparently according to the ubuntu disk manager had many bad sectors but the drive I am trying to work with passes all the tests. I did these tests using an ubuntu live cd.
I googled around for an answer to this but there are so many different causes and solutions. I am really stumped
