If you want to wipe the entire drive do the followering boot off the disc or USB flash drive
Press enter when you see the screen that says Press any key to boot from cd or DVD…( image below ) ![]() When you get to this screen ( image below ) ![]() Press Shift and F10 . You will get a command prompt window . It should open up to X:\Sources . In there input these commands and press enter after each line . Code:
DISKPART LIST DISK SELECT DISK 0 CLEAN CREATE PRIMARY PARTITION SELECT PARTITION 1 ACTIVE FORMAT FS=NTFS LABEL="Windows 7 OS" QUICK ASSIGN LETTER=C EXIT EXIT Disk 0 Partition 1: Window (C:\) and click Next When it reboots don't press any keys it will continue on its own |

Why do you want to install a different version on your Sony VAIO which comes with a $100+ Win7 license and is the exact same OS as all other versions except they have a few other expensive features which most users don't need.
If you're having problems we can help with them or you can do the superior Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 . It explains in the tutorial how to decide which partitions to keep. It also shows you how to get and keep a perfect install. I would use the licensed version on your COA sticker unless you have a specific extra feature you need. How do you plan to activate the higher version? |
