Which is better for the PC

I did not understand most of that. But what I gathered is (I don't back stuff up. I'm not a fan of it. I have all the stuff I need on my iPod/USB Drive. Clean Install Windows 7 from my disc, then use the codes on the side of my PC to activate it

Hello again.



I would suggest, after you have copied out or made back-ups of the data you need to save to external media, use Step One of this tutorial at the link below to do a wipe (secure erase) to the entire Hard Disk Drive, running this then using the outline in Step Two #2 to create/format and mark Active a single 100GB partition using diskpart will get you the best possible space to clean install Windows 7 to.


SSD / HDD : Optimize for Windows Reinstallation

Sorry that it took so long to write back. So I'm about to put the DVD in. I used the Snipping Tool on my Device Manager. I have all the programs I need, Firefox Addons written down on my USB Drive. SP1 is on the USB Drive and my music is on my iPod that I can get off easily. (That's what she said) So I know that I have the HP (C:) and IMAGE (D:) I wipe my entire HD getting rid of the IMAGE too correct?

Okay, I got to "clean all" and the little blinking line is working I think. When I typed list disk, it showed 5 disks Disk 0 had 465gb of my 500gb. Disks 1-4 had 0 bytes. So I typed in Select Disk 0.

No Media

Okay it's cleaned.
