Help please - windows 7 install

Hi guys,

First time builder/windows installer here! :confused:

Put my pc together, fired it up and started installing Windows but got to the "Where do you want to install Windows?" screen and it shows my HD (I assume as it says 931.5GB Free - it's a 1TB HD) but I can't proceed as I get:

"Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition, see the system log files for more information".

Any ideas?

Thanks

Thanks for quick response.

When I clicked "disk options" I get:
Delete
Format
New
Extend

New is a 'Sun' and seems to be the only selectable option?

Hit that?

Will do, cheers wazza.

When i choose new it comes up with a Size of 953868 which i can apply.

I clicked apply.

I can format it and create partition 1, but it doesn't seem to work?

Do I need to go into the bios and setup the hard drive?

MB is Gigabyte Z77X-D3H
