hi, i think i screwed up the programs in the ssd (os/primary drive) as there were too many duplicated files (such as Programs file and Programs file x64). the setup was done by vendor. thus, i wan to reformat the ssd and reinstall win on my ssd. i am not sure if i should i just simply boot the win 7 OEM disc to reformat and reinstall everything. i am ok for the data to be gone.

details:
MB: MSI z87-g45
SSD: sandisk ultra plus 128gb sata3 (primary)
HDD: seagate 1tb sata3 (secondary)

Windows always does a program files and program files x86 to differentiate between 64 bit and 32bit programs.

But to answer your question, yes boot off the OEM disk. and when you get to the point where it asks you where to install to click the advanced drive options. From there you can delete the existing partitions. Once it says unallocated, hi-lite it and click next. And away you go ... <grin>
