Windows 7 can't solve the problem of partitioning

As before the official launch of Windows XP, system partition requirements (such as partition format and space size) have always been a topic of interest to users, and related topics are "How can I install XP?" . In the Windows 7 era, similar topics and problems existed as well. During the installation process, partitions could not be partitioned, new partitions could not be selected, and partitions could not be formatted.

The problem that caused the system to be unable to partition and install properly is not unique. For Windows 7, when users install it, if they can't format and re-create the partition, you may wish to refer to the following article. Solution.

Under normal circumstances, the Windows 7 installer will let the user choose the installation partition (as shown in Figure 1), but sometimes, the hard disk clearly has several partitions, the installer only recognizes one of the current partitions (as shown in the figure). 2).

Figure 1 Let users choose the installation partition of Windows 7

Figure 2 The installation program only recognizes a hard disk partition

In fact, when the interface shown in Figure 2 appears It is not that there is a problem with the Windows 7 installer, nor does it mean that the hard drive itself has a problem. After clicking the "DriverOptions (advanced)" button in the above figure, the Windows 7 installer will let the user create a new partition (as shown in Figure 3, please note the difference between Figure 2 and Figure 3).

Figure 4 is to create a new partition according to the Windows 7 installation procedure:

Figure 5 shows the situation after the new partition:

It can be seen that if you eliminate the problem of the hard disk itself, we do not have to suspect that there is a problem with the Windows 7 installer. (If there is a problem, it is also common in pirated Windows 7 installer, genuine will not have such problems).

In addition, some users attribute this problem to "Windows 7 installer can not identify the hard disk partition", from the above solution, this argument is also untenable.

It is necessary to explain to you that some users will choose to use the installed system "Install Windows 7 with external hard disk" or install Windows 7 with PE when encountering the above problems. These methods are not impossible, but they are the easiest way. If you still cannot solve the Windows 7 "Unrecognized Partition" or "Unable to create a new partition" using the above method, it is recommended to use the external hard disk and PE mode for installation.
