Installed 32-bit instead of 64-bit

[yingyangalex]

I accidentally installed the 32-bit disk instead of the 64-bit disk on my new computer build. How do I remove the 32-bit version and install the 64-bit?

Reformat & reinstall.

If you're implying I "formated" something to begin with, you're wrong. All I did was turn on my computer, made some minor changes in BIOS and then rebooted from the installation disk.

reformat what? how?

reformat your HD and reinstall windows 64bit.

you have to format your hard drive , because you are changing to 64 bit!

If you want the 64 bit OS, you have no choice but to format & reinstall from the right installation disc this time.
