How do I wipe Win7 off of my HDD?

CaseyC360 · Dec 4, 2013

I've installed an SSD to my PC and I installed Win7 onto it while Win7 was already installed onto my HDD. I want to run Win7 off of my SSD instead of my HDD, so my question is how do I do that? I've already backed up anything that's important.

Not really necessary. I have two 1 TB Hdds in here as well as an SSD and Windows 7 on all of them. You can open the Hdd and locate windows 7 and then Right click and delete, but I wouldn't worry about it. I like to keep a good back up of the OS anyway, just in case. Saves a lot of time should you need to do a reinstall.

Grab yourself hirens boot cd, JUST plug in the hard drive you want wiped, and run a low level format utility on it. Voila, drive erased.

Now plug in both hard drives, boot into windows and voila.

If you've got everything backed up elsewhere....Disk Management, select each partition, Delete. Reformat. Give it a drive letter.
