Format old OS hard drive

Once you get the C drive sorted out you will need to use Diskpart again to remove the Active flag from that old hard drive. Then you will be able to format/erase it.

And Folks: A general rule when installing Windows is to disconnect all extra hard drives before you start. Only the drive you want the OS installed to should be connected!
