Hi everyone, I am trying to fix my friends Gateway Laptop and it is not booting into the Windows screen. So I am trying to reformat with Windows 7 and deleted OEM Reserved.-__- Now I cannot install windows 7 because there all the space that is availbale is now th "OEM(Reserved).

"Windows cannot be installed to disk 0 partition 1" Is there a way I can make a partition to install windows 7?



Heres a picture of what it looks like.

Click on the "Drive Options (Advanced)" in lower right on this screen then select the "Delete" option. This should delete the OEM partition. Click on next and Windows 7 install should continue and create the partitions it needs for the install.
