//you created a new partition
==> is that what you meant by which allowed me to reformat what was left on drive c?
==> so you have a C: partition and a D: partion on your drive, is that correct?
==> How big is the C: partition (drive)?//
No, I mean I'm not sure about the terminology. I reformatted drive c so I guess technically it would be considered a new partition, but whenever all was done I had one clean drive and one drive with data still on it. Yes, I have both a C: partition as well as a D: partition. Both partitions are 290 gb each.
//You stated that you didn't understand when the C: partition would be formatted in the tutorial
you asked "Do I have to reformat the drive again?//
The first time I tried reinstalling Windows (prior to registering here) I was given the option. The second time using the download via the tutorial I was not given the option. But okay I'll look back over the tutorial and see what I can find about formatting.
//Now where are we?
Oh yeah - the install gave you an error. Britton suggested "Try downloading and making a new flash or DVD install media"//
Yes, will do. Thank you.
And excuse me if I ask questions that are listed on the tutorial. It could be I'm not aware how much information there is to take in there and take it for granted that I have taken it all in. I will admit I have not clicked each and every blue link there is either, so I'll try and look it over a bit more closely.
I hope you all have a good night and I'll talk to you tomorrow.
