Hi, I installed windows 7 on my new SSD the other day but I made a partition a bit too small for windows (only 20gb since I was following a vid and wasn't thinking straight). I now want to formatt my SSD and delete all windows files so I can install windows on the whole 240GB of the SSD however I'm not sure how to do so? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
How do I formatt SSD with windows on it to re-install windows?

Boot from your install fDVD
When it asks 'where' to install, select Custom
You will be presented with a list of all existing partitions
Delete each, ending up with one large unformatted space
Format
Install, letting Windows create what it needs.

Use a bootable USB formatted with Parted Magic or Gparted to format your SSD. Then install Windows normally (as you would a new computer).
