Fresh Install - format?
Hi everyone!
I have searched and didn't find much to answer my question. I recently got a new Lenovo netbook that came with Win 7. I decided to upgrade my current laptop with Win 7. I wanted to do a fresh install, but I wasn't able to format my drive. My laptop is an LG P1 Pro laptop.
During the installation, the option to format the drive was greyed out and the partition was named as a system drive . I decided to proceed anyway and I was able to still install Windows 7. The old files were put into a windows.old folder. I also suspect there may be a hidden recovery partition for windows xp. I'll have to look into that when I get home (I'm at work).
Now, I still want a fresh install. What steps should I take?
