Was your GF having the black screen issue that prompted her to want to reinstall?
Windows won't boot from anything

I think that it's better to just boot from the original OS. Then extract and run the ISO. Can't you just make another partition and install it on that, and then delete the original partition later?
Just my two cents. Done rather few clean installs

If you run a Windows install from another OS it will lock out the C letter so the install is permanently booted from another letter. This is OK but not preferred by most. That's why it's suggested to always boot the installer to Clean Install Windows 7.
Other tips are included here to get a perfect reinstall based on countless thousands we've helped with here: Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7. Same as for retail.

Uh-oh.
Shayno123 left 6 hours ago to find a set of screw drivers and hasn't been heard from since.
His GF did ask him to fix her computer......
When he returns, I hope he just bites the bullet and does a clean install (it makes such a better machine), shows off his new found talent and takes his GF out to dinner.
Good luck Shay,
Bill
