KillDisk + windows 7

Correct. Simply follow this tutorial from Microsoft:

Installing and reinstalling Windows 7

Ok, but what about my recovery partion that i have? It seems like i still have it but it doesnt let me access it anymore for some reason, when i press f11, it just brings me to bootmgr missing.. Should i just delete it, and make a new one once i reinstall windows? and where do i format windows?

Check the hard drive with the manufacturer's diagnostic tools.
Hard Drive Diagnostics Tools and Utilities (Storage) - TACKtech Corp.
HD Diagnostic

Download the ISO, burn to CD, boot CD, run long test.

Good quality DVD's and CD's are 5 for $2 on the wall rack near Photo dept at Walgreens.

lol, that made me laugh a bit when you told me the exact location, but yeah im just gonna grab some blank cd's this weekend and try to do a test.

Do there have HD Drives, aswell.

So, where do i format windows 7? I'm still bit shooked at that, i havent tried putting the disc yet til im assured of everything thats going to happen.

Walgreens is a 24/7 pit stop here. But no HD's.

I would burn the Seagate SeaTools CD to run the Full Scan of HD first as it may need repair or worse.

Then follow these illustrated steps: Clean Install Windows 7

If you don't need to save any partitions, read the yellow box under Step 8 on how to delete partitions and create new, format. Or you can just delete them and click Next and installer will create one large install partition (and a small boot partition) and format it for you.

You will need a good HD Drive first.
