Hello there to all moderator
i have a laptop model TOSHIBA TE2300 i want to reformat it
during deleting the existing partition an error occurred said that the drive can not be deleted so i enter it to proceed on setup. this is the error

An error occurred while setup was updating partition information on:
38155 MB Disk 0 at Id 0 on Bus 0 on atapi [MBR],
Setup cannot continue.

is this a harddrive problem?
