I have had this issue as well, my solution to it is: Go back to the first screen (of the Win7 install)

and go to the repair section, let it try and repair, then get to the Command Prompt. Once in the Command Prompt, run DISKPART Then type in each line below and press enter after each command. You'll have to wait for the format, it will take a while. LIST DISK SELECT DISK # (where # is the corresponding disk number that you want to install Windows onto from the list you just pulled up) CLEAN CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY SELECT PARTITION 1 ACTIVE FORMAT FS=NTFS ASSIGN EXIT CD\ SETUP That will take you back to the initial screen, then run the setup from there. Do not try to change the partitions or reformat, when it asks what disk you want t o install 7 onto, just select the disk and press next. Hope this helps!
