Well i've been having this problem with me upgrading my motherboard an cpu and Windows 7 not booting up correctly. Now I cannot re-partition it for it does not give me the option to do so. So i figured well is there a way that i can just wipeout my hard drive that Windows 7 is installed on clear all of its data through a command prompt and then just re-install it?

Is this possible? If so whats the command prompt? Thanks for any help. :)

If you boot from the install disk in the DVD drive and then don't do an install but go to the command prompt there you can use diskpart to clean the drive:

diskpart
list disk
select disk <the drive you want to clean>
clean all
create partition primary

Then restart and you should be able to install now.
