Guys, urgently need a response, I've rebooted, and I'm wanting to install windows now, so it's at the partitioning section. I have a drive c and a drive d. I want to install windows on c. For c I have:

Drive 1 Partition 1: Recovery 300MB type: recovery
Drive 1 partition 2: 99MB Type: system
Drive 1 partition 3: 128MB tpe: MSR (Reserved)
Drive 1 Partition 4 465.2GB Type: primary

What is my next step? Format or delete? and which one? I tried installing to partition 4 but it says that it cannot install to this disk because the selected disk is of the GPT partition style. What now? -I just want the c drive clearing and a reinstallation of Winows, like when I first used it.

If you mean you have two drives, but delete everything and fill the drive with one partition, the Windows installer will do everything else for you.

If you mean you want to make a C partition and then a D partition, delete everything and make a partition that fills only part of the drive (at least 32gb, better if you use enough for OS and applications). After you install, you can make a second partition in the remaining space.

By the way, this is a Samsung Evo 840, if that needs to be known. Again, just wanting it clearing of my files and a fresh copy of windows installing, as I'm selling my computer today.

Also to add, I'm using a Z97i-plus motherboard.
