Ok so, here is the deal. I recently bought a SSD and want to instal windows 8 on it. However I already have windows 7 installed on my regular HDD. This, I want to get rid of as I want a clean instal. When trying the reset your pc option in the windows 8 instal it says : reset your pc unable to reset your pc. a required drive partition is missing.

How should I approach this?
Thanks.

What I would suggest here is to unplug your HDD and make sure you only have your SSD plugged in. After your SSD is pluged in, do a fresh install of windows8. After your fresh install, plug back in your HDD and format it.

I think it's that simple.
