OEM Installation
Since the Win 7 OEM is normally installed on a blank HD, does it give an option to format the HD or should this be done before installing the OEM disk?

the installation will give you the options to format, delete and create partitions
I always format before installing a new OS... there are several third party apps available to do this... Good luck with your install..
Thanks for both of your replies. I am about ready to give the installation a shot.
it took me 40 mins lol
i had win 7 and i was slow and fed up with slow slow sloe and crashing. so luckily i got OEM version and i just custom install. deleted all partitions and installed win7 on a new partition. FRESH CLEAN install
Yes you can do all of that during the install but do you not want to keep the data on D ?
sorry just a bit confused on that.
N/M I thought it was personal files(pics, mp3s...) delete away :)
