My comment was a bit loose. I wanted OP to know, in response to his claim that he has an unpartitioned drive (yet showing his used/free space and that be is running Win7 in his system specs), that he actually has one partition and that he had to have a partition to have an installed Win7. Your potshot was pointless because it provided nothing useful to the OP and did not attempt to clarify matters--i.e., why my comment was misleading even though it was true.
Sorry. A bit too much literalism here, mostly on my part.
Apparently Bilkal11 calls a drive with one partition "unpartitioned". Perhaps he or she will confirm that.
Windows must be installed in a formatted partition, which is clearly what you meant by "You can't install on an unpartitioned drive."
Maybe no one else would mistake that for stating that you had to somehow partition the drive before using the Windows installer (which can automatically partition and format the drive, without requiring any user action).
I apologize for dragging this farther away from the original topic.
