How to get rid of Multiboot all together?! (Not just one OS)

Hi,

I am planning on installing a second Windows on my computer (Multiboot). I read a few articles on how to do it, and on how to delete ONE, of the two Operating Systems.

However, I am not sure what to do, if I wanted to get rid of BOTH Operating Systems, and install a "fresh" Windows again?!

thanks,

G

To get rid of both, simply format the entire disk after backing-up any data you want to keep, and then perform a clean install.

Clean Install Windows 7

If one of those operating systems was a Linux distro, then I would also recommend performing a CLEAN using DISKPART during the clean install:

Disk - Clean and Clean All with Diskpart Command

Thanks for the fast reply! Looking at the first link you sent me, STEP 7 is where I would delete the partitions containing the Operating System?!

thanks again,

G

Very simple. You just reformat the disk with the bootable CD of Partition Wizard.

LOL, can't beat Golden.

Interesting?! I haven't downloaded the program yet, but I would think that you do the format after you boot form it, take it out and put a Windows CD in, right?!

thanks,

Right, the bootable CD contains a fully operational program which we all use for many disk operations. Very handy because it can do a lot of things that are impossible with Disk Management. Highly recommended.

There is also a version that you can install on your system. But with that you cannot manipulate the C partition - obviously.

There is a whole collection of video tutorials on this page in case you are not sure how some operation functions.

Great info! I will download the program and play around with it... I will also take a look at the videos.

My OS drive is on a two disk RAID 1. Is that a problem!?

Thanks,

G
