Clean install win 7 on one partition format other
Hi I currently have vista 32bit, and have win7 upgrade disc soon will do a clean instal of win7 64 once i have finished backin up my files. Once i have i will be doing the install which should be in the next 2 days.
My main drive has 2 partitions. C, which has the vista OS on it, a few other key programs and is about 39Gb, The other partition is D and has the remaining ~250GB and has most of my prgrams/games installed on it. Before i upgrade i will be increase the size of C's partition to about 60GB
I am to upgrade to 64bit through clean install which will wipe the C partition just leaving the windows.old folder which i will delete after install. I also would like to format the D partition so that has been wiped of all files aswell.
My question is can the formating of the D partition be done during the instalation of Windows 7 through 'drive options(advanced)' which I read somwhere is what you do to format a partition? or does it have to be done somewhere else or some other time?
