Hello, I can't delete a hard drive partition, Windows installation reports an error 0x8007045d. Any help?

Why are you adding here something that goes right to find via Google?

My opinion is that if drives connected via USB have a problem, maybe it wants to change/update USB drivers. If a disk size is larger than 2TB and HDD drive was formatted inside the computer via SATA and then connected via a USB hub, it also causes problems.

It can be also problem with your RAM memory in your computer.

If other devices connected via USB works OK, you don't have corrupted USB chip on your mainboard.

If there is something that Windows can't do with disks, you can always attach it to linux computer or apple and simply fix it

If this does not help, your disk is corrupted.

I have also faced the same problem on my Windows 7 system. It may be the Windows error. So, I firstly updated the system, but it was of no benefit. I have searched the Internet a lot and learned about Windows update error code 8007000e. I think it is the same problem that we are facing.

The 0x8007045d error code can appear in all versions of Windows when a device has difficulty locating or reading files correctly. Typically, this happens during an app or Windows update. However, error code 0x8007045d has also been known to appear during a faulty file transfer or system backup.
