WHat does Win 7 Clean install do to disk?
What exactly does the "clean install" do to an existing Vista C: drive? I have a Vista 64 bit laptop and the Windows 7 upgrade disk from the manufacturer. I do not want the default installation - I want a custom clean install so no Vista crap is carried over and am trying to understand the clean install process. (and yes I have full backups of my data and understand that programs will require a re-install)
Does the clean install
1. actually re-format the C drive?
2. Erase all files on the C drive?
3. something else?
Thanks
