So, long story short I recently built a new PC, I used my old hard drive but come to the conclusion that my Hard drive needs re-formatting. I just want to wipe everything, and start over with windows 7 instead. I've got my Windows 7 Disk, What do I have to do to wipe/Install everything?

Do I just insert the disk and restart my computer and it'll wipe and re-install everything or do I need to manually wipe the hard drive first?
Thanks!

SSD's change your comptuing experience . Cold boots in 8 seconds here .
They may also help you get into game maps faster too , but they wont change fps or in game performance

Enter the BIOS [ start up] menu .

set the dvd as the first boot device

save and exit

put the windows disk in the dvd . Use the power button to turn the pc off by holding it down for 5 seconds .

press the button again and you should boot to the dvd . From there follow the instructions

Thank you guys,

Another for question for anybody who cares to answer -

Should I keep old hard drive or should I spend 60 quid and update to Samsung evo 840 120Gb SSD? Or would that be unnecessary....

The drive is 750GB,
A friend suggested buying an SSD, However if its not necessary then I'd rather not spend money I don't need to spend if that makes sense...
