I googled for a while and I saw that some people had the same problem with windows XP (System Partition is not allowed to be formatted)
and they should delete the partitions, but in Vista it dos not let me delete the small 9MB partition.
Wenn I try to format my Hard Disk in the Command Prompt I see that message:
C:\Windows\system32>format C:
The type of the file system is NTFS.
WARNING, ALL DATA ON NON-REMOVABLE DISK
DRIVE C: WILL BE LOST!
Hi Can anyone help me, i have tried formating my drive but it wont let me, the reason why i am trying is that i use Vista home premium in italian language, i have also installed a new language pack in english, but the problem after that was that it would let me update anything, also the windows defender wouldnt get any updates of any kind. Any help please
Boot from the Vista DVD and format your hard drive. You can't format C: while Windows is running.

What if you have no option to format from Vist boot disc, I do the following steps
1. insert disc
2. click set up
3. Click install now
4.insert disc key
5. check "accept the license terms"
6. Open "Custom ( Adavanced)
then from ther all it says is there is already a version of windows installed, the old version of windows will be calle "windows.old" and you will not be able to use that version of windows.
teher is a note at the bottom of teh screen that says " To make changes to partitions, restart windows from the install disc,.. umm well I have many of time and still no change on install process, I have set the BIOS to even read the CDrom/DVD as primary???
