So yeah never had this so I'm sort of like "what the fuck"?
Not long ago I bought a WD20ears and now it started to act funky when ever I want to install Windows 7 (32 bit).
I partitioned it with both the build in formated and a Gparted live cd, even started to load every driver I could get my dirty hands on. Both Windows and Debian know it is a 2TB driver installed Debian on it a few times already, the BIOS does to. And still I get the error "Setup was unable to create new system partition or locate and existing system partition. See the Setup log files for more information.". (Where the hell does it even put those log files?)
So yeah tell me what I'm doing wrong so I can feel embarrassed.
Technical info (pretty much think only these two could cause the problem):

One thing I can think of is If you are installing the drivers from a USB drive, unplug it when you pick the partition to install to. I've discovered a bug when installing W7 and Server 2008 where it will give you that message (and then go through disk init again) if you have a flash drive plugged in.
If it's not that, did you look at the logs?

If I knew where they are.
And I will give it a try.
Thats one hell of a weird bug. Pulled out both of my external drives and it works now.
Thanks Roo-kie.
