Installed Win7 but cannot format SSD with original Vista on!!
I've had my Alienware PC for around 6 years. It came with Vista which was installed onto the Samsung SSD I ordered the PC with.
This weekend I purchased a new OCZ SSD and also a licensed copy of Win7.
After much trouble trying to do a clean install onto the OCZ, I gave gave up and instead did the install from Vista, onto the new OCZ SSD.
As a result, I now have 2 OS from which to choose at startup.
My idea is to have the OCZ SSD for only my OS, the Samsung SSD only for Programmes and my WD 500Gb 5200rpm only for data.
So, I want to format my Samsung SSD and start fresh. Win7 will not allow this. It also will not let me change the drive letter of the OCZ SSD to "C".
Also, I've tried unplugging the Samsung SSD and starting up but nothing happens, which leads me to believe that the PC is booting up from the Samsung SSD even though the OS is on the OCZ SSD.
Any advice on how I can fix this tricky problem??
