Windows 7 refusing to install due to a partition error during installation

Question

When I started my computer, it gave me this error:

Disk error occurred. Press Ctrl Alt Del to restart.

or

Reboot and select proper boot device, or insert boot media in selected boot device and press any key.

As a solution, I started a new installation of Window 7 from a pen drive. It started but when I got to selecting the partition to install, it gives me this error:

Windows could not format a partition on disk 0 - error code 0x80070057.

Solution

The error code 0x80070057 appears because the partition that is reserved for system is damaged

Inorder to solve the issue try by deleting the existing partitions, create a new partition, and continue with the formatting ,This Microsoft forum gives you elaborated answer

Apart from that Reboot and select proper boot device, or insert boot media in selected boot device and press any key ,try re-arranging your boot order of your bios with respective to your booting device will solve your problem.

is it possible to get my data from harddisk

[Admin]

@RAHUL you would need some sort of offline backup tool in order to accomplish that. You should also run a disk test tool for your hard drive, it's possible that it's failing.
