What would you reccomend? My HD is 149GB per the diskpart page. Ill use the computer mostly for basic online activities, office 2010, project 2007, CADD software, and i am also an online student at CWU, so every quarter i am given new software to install that I generally uninstall once the qtr is over.

I would use a single partition but I would let the installer do all the work, when the clean all is finished type exit 2 separate times and hit the <enter> key to close diskpart and get back to the installer and follow along at this tutorial at the link below.

OK, I took your advice and am attempting to install with the Clean Installation link you refered me to. When I get to step 8, it asks me to click the drive i want to install on (there is only 1), then click format, followed by the next button. ------- the problem is how "format" is greyed out and i cannot click it.
What to do, what to do....?

the only options not greyed out are "new" Refresh, and Load driver. I already tried refresh to see if it helped

@ theog ... I have already used "clean all" I am now trying to allow WINDOWS7 to do the work for me and i beleive the bare foot kid was recommending this so i dont get myself into trouble. Your advice seems to be minimal expecting that i have the technical experience to make simple assumptions... i do not have that experience though.
As you can see by my latest post, this is the problem i am currently having. I have no desire to start off in the old spot... can you answer the last question i posed?

Click New and create a partition of all the unallocated space, and then you should get the Format option.

after clicking new, i accepted the size that it defaulted...
now i have
Disc 0 Partition 1: system reserved 100MB total size - 86MB free space - System type
Disc 0 Partition 2: 149GB total size - 149GB freespace - Primary type
Shall I do nothing and hit next? OR do i need to do anythiing to partition 2?
