Wiping Hard Drive Clean to Install Windows 7
Hi Everyone.
I'm not a computer person but do know a bit more than an average person about installing things, etc. Well...I bought an HP desktop about 2 years ago with vista 64 bit on it and it has been crappy ever since. I've had problems with programs not being recognized, things not installing at all when they should, and it freezing up for no good reason. Anyway, I went out and bought Windows 7 ultimate the full version. I saved the few files I have on a jump drive and I want to completely wipe out the hard drive and install windows 7 and start from scratch. However, I want to be sure I do it the right way and would rather not pay someone else to do it. If anyone can kind of walk me through step by step how to wipe out the hard drive and start from scratch, that would be wonderful. I've read things about formatting the hard drive and partitions and whatnot and thats where I lose it. Thanks in advance for any help!
