Formatted SSD can't install windows

I NEED HELP!!!!

 

The other day i was feeling for a fresh start, so i decided to restore my computer. when i got the option to chose the install hard drive for windows 7, i clicked format on my ssd. (i have a Kingston Hyperx 3k ssd) 

after that i got the message i could not install windows, because it needs to be partitioned. i partitioned the ssd but i still get the message. BTW: i do realice i did a stupid mistake!

 

I i have tried some other stuff like, formating the disk in disk management and giving it a new partition. i do not know how to fix this, and i cant really go out and just buy a new ssd for 200$.

 

some other pc specs.  :)

Doesn't windows create the partition when installing it? It should just reformat then install I think.

Pro Life Tip: Don't try to fix anything not broken.

Can you post the exact errors, or a screenshot/photograph? The stuff you wrote doesnt make sense and is hard to follow.

On Select Partition screen you should have the OS partition where your windows previously was. Select that and click next. It shouldn't need more than that.

you will loose all data on the SSD!

 

Within the windows set-up:

 

Press Shift+F10, This will bring up a command prompt

 

From there type in;

DISKPART

LIST DISK

SELECT DISK # ( # = the SSD number) - If its not listed here then you have hardware/BIOS problems

CLEAN (you should see a confirmation, if it fails the first time try again)

EXIT

EXIT

 

Refresh the drives list. Click new then just click next.

I can, but you will probably not understand what it says, because it is in Norwegian.... :(

Can you remove partition and recreate it?

Sounds bad. Can you format it in another pc? Or maybe you've tried that already too :/ I feel like that SSD has died.

Move it to another sata port with a different sata wire. could be the sata data cable/port is bad.

Have you tried to format/hold data on it via another PC?

it is very weird, because i could use the ssd in my other gaming rig. i just had to format in in windows first. and as i did that i thought it was fixed. but apparently not.
