My Win 7 installation is very unreliable with lots of problems concerning wake up from standby, ATI display driver crashing often and several other glitches. So I decided to do clean restart, wipe out my Win 7 installation and do a complete new install.
When I choose my former Win 7 partition, I always get an error message (I hope my translation is correct):
"Setup couldn't create a new system partition or couldn't find an existing." There's a hint to look for the installer log, but I couldn't find it.
I tried the follwing:
1) Deleting the partition
2) Deleting the partition and reformating with NTFS
3) Deleting the partition from PartedMagic, watching for a hidden partition
Nothing helped. I'm always get stucked with the same error.

So, what can I do? Any suggestions? Are there some files or partition informations left which I also have to delete?
