Hey all, I've been working on a new build for my daughter. I have a new Rosewill Challeger case, Gigabyte GA 970A-DS3 mob, AMD Phenom II x4 965 BE CPU and Cool Master Hyper 212 Plus CPU fan. My frend gave me his old 300 watt PSU and 750GB Htachi Deskstar HDD. I would like to reformat this drive and install Windows 7. Can I reformat by running it to my XP, Pentium D 3.0 desktop using a SATA to USB adapter in drive (F) and going through Disk Management > Format? or is there a simpler way? The HDD currently has Vista OEM on it....and there is also an (I) drive designated as FACTORY_IMAGE(I). Does this alsoneed reformatting?
As always, Thanks.
