Can't install Windows 7 on Boot Camp partition

I ran the Boot Camp application and it formatted a partition but when I try to install Windows 7 Home Premium full version it says the partition is invalid. There was no option to choose NTFS or FAT and now the installer is telling me that the partition is not NTFS.


What should I do?

Hello,

Thank you for the fast answer,

So, i have only 1 drive on a Macbook Pro 15'' 2,4 GHz Intel Core i5 with Mac OS X v10.7.5.

I've manage to install win7 but i just delete it to install win8.


I really don't understand why the installer doesn't want to format the boot camp partition,

I tried to restore the drive, and the key and to do it again, but same thing...
