how many partition you have?
I don't understand of "losing D after install 7"
supposedly any windows installed in C and can you post a snip of disk management
and about the drivers,windows 7 comes with built in driver,the rest you can update the driver based on the brand/manufacturer like Graphic card,sound,motherboard etc

Was there a data partition on the HD which you were trying to preserve? I assume not since you formatted both partitions at the beginning. You should always back up your data before any install.

If you did not have another OS or data on another partition you want to save, then you should boot in Win7 DVD, choose Custom install, then Drive Options (Advanced) to Delete all partitions first, then create New one for Win7, then Format before install.

Win7 will create a small 100mb boot partition which you should ignore.

Thus..i should delete both partition and then create the new primary and system partition....format both partition... and finally choose primary to install win 7, is it right??

 

[kucing13]

yes. you should delete both partition and create back two new partition .

one more thing dude....can u recommend me any anti virus program ..because AVG 9.0 (license until 2018) seems like ruin my wireless connection during startup..tx

Yes, the experts' new choice of free, lightweight, no-bloat AV's is Microsoft Security Essentials.

Free Avast 5 is comparable but why be bothered with yearly registration when MSE installs in 30 seconds, updates itself and then becomes invisible forever until a threat emerges.

[gregrocker]

Please do not disuss illegal activation hacks on this site.

I referred you to the best AV available, which is free to begin with.

Most paid AV's are bloatware so that makes pirating them idiotic as well as criminal.
