Where did you get Win7? You need to download an intact verified ISO then burn to DVD using Imgburn at 4x speed.
Check the HASH of ISO using Hashtab, against the official Win7 HASH here: Windows 7 RTM SHA-1 hash / checksums

Ok, problem solved, the I manage finally to create a bootable cd with imgburn. According to what it was saying here, the dvd is too recent for my motherboard. Problem solved, I can now boot from the dvd. The roblem is, I still need to format my C:. I want all the dat acompletely erased from there! And what hapened when I pressed the button "format" on the instalation menu? Not much... It took nearly 2 seconds to format the hard drive, in another words, it didn't really formated the C, it did something else, some typical Microsoft neet clean... So, I created another partion (this time I wal allowed to create one qith 50Gb), and installed windows over there in the hope that I could then, later on format my C: and later install there a completely clean windows... But I cant! The windows running on the second partition doesn't let me format C: !!!!
Suggestions to format C: needed over here... Thanks in advance to everyone\anyone....
I wonder if I can create a DOS startup disk in a pen drive and format C: from there... Can I?
I do pay atention! I just didn't write all the stuff I shoulded, I'm sorry!
When I go to DISKPART and select the hard drive and then write "clean all" as it says in the tutorial, here's what hapends:
"Virtual disk service error:
Clean is not allowed on the disk containing the curent boot, system, page file, crashdump or hibernation volume."
Is it anything that I'm doing wrong?
Yes you have to boot to diskpart it won't run on an active Windows install.
DISKPART : At PC Startup
The information was in post #7 by BareFootKid from a day ago. You would already be reinstalled had you not ignored the steps which had been carefully laid out for you.
You need to run Diskpart from the DVD Command Line or Repair CD, as described here.

While you are waiting for Clean All (which takes about an hour per 300gb) read over the other links which are posted and make notes so you know how you're going to proceed.
