    i was getting bsod's since a
    while.i thought its a virus
    problem.so i formatted coz i
    didn't have any important data i
    thought its easiest step and
    might help but nothing did help.i did a clean all with diskpart to
    write zeroes.so the situation
    now is i'm having a blank ata
    drive 465gb.and whenever i try
    to install windows i get a bsod.i
    tried with xp and windows 8 pro.i made some googling and run
    chkdsk .it shows up "error
    detected in uppercase file .run
    chkdsk /f to fix it.but when i
    tried chkdsk it said that it
    cannot run chkdsk coz the volume is write
    protected.though i can run
    chkdsk /f or /r on every volume
    saparately.it doesnt show any
    error.but stil the uppercase file
    is errored and i think it is the cause of bsod.is there any way
    to solve this.or to remove the
    disk's write protect.i already
    tried diskpart for it. diskpart
    shows no flag on
    readonly.please help

    Might be a bit hard to run that app since it needs a running Windows OS to start with...

    Try chkdsk with /f, /r, /x etc:

    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc730714.aspx

    If major errors at this point> Dead drive.

    Otherwise:

    View the partition via Parted Magic/Hirens BootCD.\

    See if Hiren/PM crash. If so, this indicates a major hardware failure. Make sure everything is seated...cut it down to only boot disks and swap disc connections if possible. Flash BIOS if provided easily.

    If live disc running:

    Re-create NTFS format/partition:

    Retry install.

    If no go:

    Sounds again like a failing HDD/Controller.

    I'd try another HDD and eliminate that variable after partition problems are sussed--let us know.

    Is your BIOS set for IDE or ACHI?

    If it is set for ACHI, then you need to inject ACHI drivers before installing Windows XP.

    Try taking the HD out and putting it in a docking station on a working PC and format the drive from disc management console.

    Hi Sam,

    You can check it in your BIOS.

    Best regards,
