Error 1002 when recovery goes to reinstalling

[Mylene85]

So I erased all partitions, checking afterwards that they all seemed to be all zeros.

Ran the 3 recovery disks, and the exact same things happens after disk 3 starts to reinstall. Error 1002.

So disappointing.. Is there anythings else I can do myself at all?

Hi,

When you finished erasing the Hard Drive, did it still show there were partitions present or didi it just show as 1 whole empty drive?

Im not 100% sure I understood the question (Im scandinavian) but when I enter the Killdisk screen it still has the same list of partitions:

Local disk (1: )

Unallocated

Recovery (2: )

Unallocated

I believe that list has remained unchanged since before I erased the partitions.

Does that mean I didnt do it quite right?

Hi,

Everything needs to be erased so that when you view the Hard Drive with Killdisk you just see 1 entry - I haven't got the program with me at the moment, but from what I remember, you should select Hard Drive 0 and press f10.

Allright I see, figured it out now. My list looked a bit different from the tutorial so I had overlooked the "0"-drive.

After erasing that one my list looked like this:

(80h)

Unallocated

So Im guessing I did it right this time. But once I ran the recovery disks the error-story unfortunately repeated itself..

Hi,

The next best suggestion I can make is to order a replacement set of Recovery Discs and see if this solves the issue - I'm not 100% certain it will, but it is probably the most logical and inexpensive option to try next.

You can order a replacement set of Recovery Discs using the link below.

I had this problem while trying to do a clean installation of Windows Vista for a client. After hours of work and trying to install Windows XP, I finally gave up and upgraded my client to Windows 7 (I have XP and 7 installation disks).

Enough people have had this problem that it should be addressed. It's a huge problem because the hard drive is wiped before the error appears.

If you have any questions, I would be happy to share what I learned during my experience.
