A wipe and marking a HDD/partition Inactive are 2 entirely different processes; if you would read the post it says ...
"Non OS HDD/partition(s) can also be marked Inactive"
If there are OSs on those HDD/partition(s) I would neither wipe them or mark them inactive.
The Disk 1 C: is the OS you are booted into right now and it is also the one that contains the boot files for the entire system; what other(s) do you want to remove from the system and is there data on that/those OSs you want to save?
There is data on the windows 7 home that I am booting into now. But b4 I installed windows 7 home I installed win7 ult. But I was given a fake key for win7 ult. so I went back to XP. I think the win7 ult. data is still left but I dont need anything from the win7 ult. So I want to get rid of that.
You still haven't said what HDD it is on but it doesn't matter; if there is nothing on that HDD you need to save, then a wipe (secure erase) would be in order, in an elevated command window, do step #7 so you can't do the "System" OS partition (Windows won't allow it) and you can do it still booted into Windows; just be VERY SURE to do the correct HDD as it is not reversible once done.
Disk - Clean and Clean All with Diskpart Command
I just looked again and you do not have 2 separate OS on any single HDD, there is a single partitions on each HDD, there can't be 2 OSs on any of them.
Well what I am having a problem with is when it first try to boot I get an error which is oxc0000000f. Then I hit enter to contintue. Then it asks me if I want to repair or start windows normaly. I start it normaly and it works. But I think the error is from when I first installed Win7 ult. Could this be?
It says,
\$windows.~BT\WINDOWS\system32\winload.exe
is missing or damaged.
