    Back up all files.

    Unplug all other HD's and peripherals, Boot into BIOS setup to see if there is an EFI Boot Disk in BIOS Boot order. If so remove it, set DVD drive first to boot. If EFI BIOS also set to Legacy BIOS. Then set SATA controller to AHCI. Save changes and Exit.

    Then boot into installer DVD or flash stick, at first screen Press Shift + F10 to open a Command Box, type:

    DISKPART
    LIST DISK
    SEL DIS 0 (after confirming Windows 7 target HD #)
    CLEAN
    CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY SIZE=102400
    FORMAT FS=NTFS LABEL="WINDOWS 7"
    ACTIVE
    EXIT

    Next click Install Now to Clean Install Windows 7 to the partition you created. If it fails then report back at which step and the verbatim error message.

    In addition read over these steps to understand the tools and methods which work best to get and maintain a perfect Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7. The steps are the same for retail.
