Windows 7: boot from drives and format

hi
i want to boot windows7 from my harddisk which i am using .
i mean to say that not from external hard disk drive.

i will try to explain again, actually i have a pc on which i am working at this time (internal or primary harddisk drive of it ). i want to reboot my system and when its bootsup then it should be stating setup of Windows 7 from one of my harddisk drive. for example from d: drive (D:/Windows 7)

and also want to fromat my c drive.

When installing Windows 7, during the setup, just choose where you want it installed.

I think i misinterpreted your post though...

Copy Windows 7 setup files to the external disk drive.

Run Windows 7 setup from the external drive.

Be VERY careful to select the INTERNAL drive as the install location.

When you select the INTERNAL drive as the install location, click the DRIVE OPTIONS.

You can format the C drive at that time.

i dont have any external drive.
i want to boot from my internal drive ( windows7 backup is resided in my internal drive).
mean to say drive is same.











path is this :

D:\windows7\7100.0.090421-1700_x86fre_client_en-us_retail_ultimate-grc1culfrer_en_dvd
i want to boot from this

See Installing Windows 7 from an internal partition

Could you elaborate something more on what do you exactly want?

i want to install windows7 from hard dirve but from booting process , like when we try to install from a DVD , we just started computer and go into the option of booting process and setup continuies. liike this.
i want to do it from my same harddrive instead of DVD.

mehmood, I am confused about your "Windows7 backup" I believe that I saw you over at MaxPC when you installed the beta. Are you trying to save your data - and do an upgrade?

Or - do you have the install ISO (Windows7 backup) on the D drive and want to install to C or install to D?

I'm sorry. I do not speak Urdu or this would be a bit easier.

You can install 7 to either drive. I think you are asking what to do with the ISO.

no dear.

i mean to say that i want to install windows7 in c drive .

windows7 setup is on d drive. i want to install it from this one.

i have a quetion now. tell me one thing ?

when we try to install windowsXP ,

we have two options to installing it.
1 ) When we log on
2) When Computer starts.

in winows7, it follows 2 way or not?
i want to run from 2nd option.
but not from DVD drive (want to from my D drive when my PC starts)
