    Are you reinstalling Factory preinstalled Win7? Reinstalling Windows 7

    If not the illustrated steps are here: Clean Install Windows 7

    Using Partition Wizard Bootable CD is a great way to delete and make all your partitions b4 you start your install. Download and burn to cd, then boot from the cd. Takes a little practice but it works flawlessly.

    Do you mean the C: partition?

    Yes. You can delete any partition you choose.

    Or you can just choose to reinstall to the current C partition, without deleting any partitions. It's up to you.

    why i wanna delete all partitions i will show you.
    see the uploaded pic.
    there are exgaggeretad spaces ..i have tried but im not able to "add" those spaces to the existing partitions.
    i dont remember how that happened. anyways i want to "start all over".
    with a clean windows installation not factory reinstall o anything else.
    so i should go with that option of deleting all partitions through windows setup ?? that would be fine right?
    too much confused i am actually.

    Yes, your HD is a mess. The 101mb partition was originally the System Reserved boot partition but it's somehow been derailed now to the third partition - probably because it was the one marked Active when you did a Repair or reinstall.

    Are you clean reinstalling factory preinstalled OEM for the first time? Reinstalling Windows 7. If so you will also get better performance without the factory bloatware and useless factory utilities which have better versions built into Win7.

    Otherwise we could help you clean up your partitioning using free Partition Wizard bootable CD which can do almost anything without fail.

    Delete C: , the 6.87 GB partition and combine the unallocated 41.24 BG. Giving you an unallocated space of 69.95 GBs. Install Windows on this. I wouldn`t delete D: E: or F: until you get the hang of installing windows. Make sure you backup those partitions or get all the info you want off of them first.
