How to remove partitions & install Windows 7 cleanly ?
Hello Guys,
This is my story ..... I'll try to make it as short as possible :)
Some days ago, my PSU in the CPU failed and it never started. I didn't want to repair it since components were old.This CPU ( Old CPU ) has 2 hard disks [SATA] and 4 partitions [ C,D,E,F,G: Drives ] .
I have got a new CPU with the latest components and I have transferred the 2 hard disks into it and also bought Seagate 500 GB HDD . I installed Windows 7 x64 into this Seagate 500 GB . It finished installing and I also partitioned it to get 1 more drive.
When I go to "My Computer", I have the Seagate Drive with Windows running and its partition. I have those 4 drives from my old hard disks too.
------------------------ PROBLEM STARTS------------------------------
But the problem is that --- [ READ CAREFULLY ]
" The DRIVE which was C: in my OLD CPU with Win 7 x32 installed has now become the DRIVE H: in my new CPU"
Now , whenever I turn on my CPU , it asks me to select :
1) Earlier version of Windows
2) Windows 7
------------------------PROBLEM ENDS-------------------------------------
I want to reload the windows to remove the older versions and make it a clean installation with only 3 drives . I don't want those partitions.
I have the installation disk and when I insert and boot it , this is what comes up.
I just don't understand where to install and what to delete in this menu . I want to remove all partitions. I have BACKED UP ALL MY DATA .
This is what I see in the installation page :-
After scrolling down :
1) Currently Windows 7 64bit is installed in Disk 1 Partition 1 .
2) The old windows 32bit [Old C: Drive ] was installed in Disk 0 Partition 2.
3) Disk 1 --- Seagate 500 GB [ Partitioned into 2 parts totally ]
4) Disk 0 and Disk 2 --- Old CPU Hard Drives with total 4 partitions
Please help me solve the issue :) Thnx for taking your time out and reading it. If you need any more info. just tell me .
Any help will be appreciated :)
