How do you do a clean install?

You would need to be able to boot into the DVD to perform another installation to do a clean install.

Basically, when you get to the options of "Custom or Upgrade" You choose Custom, then click on the partitions and delete them, then click continue (it will create its own as needed).

We need to be able to boot from the Windows 7 Install DVD.

bro...you need to listen if you want help. you need to try the repair option in the boot options first. put the disc in, restart and press f8 til it comes up. then choose repair.

Hi I told him to do this earlier on, but I think he is only getting into the F8 screen now.

Alright since my way is being out numbered here, I'm moving on to another thread.

Good luck Johny with getting your computer to work again.

It doesn't matter, ill try anything anyone tells me at this point. I don't see a "repair" option in that menu!!!

ok...you will need to reinstall. boot up from your cd and you will come to an option to repair

If like me, you may be having problems with Express Gate, you should disable that in the BIOS and then try the repair option. But that doesn't always work. It may be best to try another go at installing afresh.

Ok, how am I suppose to do a fresh install...nobody is telling me what else I can do. I can only get onto the screen that I told u before, which option should I choose from that list, there is no "repair" option!!!

i told you what to do. you need to boot up from your cd. go through the process and you will get an option to repair. you should try that first before you reinstall
