I tried to do fresh installation on my Toshiba L40-A with Windows 8. Now, before I could actually start the installation process something appears "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The disk may fail soon. If other hard disk are available, install Windows to another location". I still install the OS but problems are showing up, my laptop seems to be a little bit loading and an information keep on showing that the drive may fail soon.

So I tried to search for some solution on this, I thought I have converted my disk to a DYNAMIC so I used the Command Prompt and changed it to BASIC but it didn't help still the problem shows up.

Does Windows have any solution for this one.

I had cleaned my disk and it doesn't have any OEM or Recovery Options anymore unless if you have some idea out there.

Someone please help me :(

It's been 3 weeks since I'm finding for a solution for this.

It sounds like your hard drive is failing. You may run the hard drive diagnostic tool which are available from the website of your hard drive manufacturer.

Hi Rey Floriene,

According to the error message ,it seems that there is something wrong with the disk .Please check the health of the disk  as  S.Sengupta suggested .You may need to look for help from the manufacturer .If it is possible ,try to replace the hard drive to have a check .

"I had cleaned my disk and it doesn't have any OEM or Recovery Options anymore "
There is no important information in the disk right now ,right ?
Have you tried to reformat the disk in the "Drive Options (advanced )" or with the diskpart command (Press F10 when you see the installer screen)to have a check ?
To use the diskpart command ,here is  a link for reference :
DiskPart Command-Line Options
