Why won't windows 7 setup let me format my drive?
I currently have Windows 7 installed on drive C: I was doing things that I shouldn't and the OS became unusable. I want to format the drive and reinstall windows. I don't want to create a Windows.old folder, I want a clean formatted drive with a new installation of windows 7.
From the install CD I click on "customize" and then when prompted where to install Windows I click on "drive options" but from there, it will not let me remove, delete, or format any of my partitions as they are all grayed out. Why won't Windows 7 install let me format the drive for a clean install?
There's 4 partitions listed??
1. o data, unallocated
2. 100mb system reserved
3. 698gb primary HDD?
4. 0 data unallocated
