You need to delete all the partitions when your installing windows.

Could you post a shot of disk management please.

1. Backup your data off of the drives in question.
2. Delete the partitions using whatever method you are comfortable with.
3. Install Windows 7 to the system.

If you have multiple instances, then you aren't starting with blank drives.
