setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition windows 7

God damn error message I tell you, I couldn't figure it out. Well in the end it's because grub is at the start of the drive on my EEE laptop. How did I get rid of it? I used Gparted. I had to use an ISO file and burn it to a CD, I'm sure there's a way to get it onto a USB thumbstick, I'm just not in the know about how to do it.

That's because you've got a linux bootloader such as grub. Get rid of it with Gparted. You might even be able to get away with killing everything using a windows boot disk.
