If you reformat your hard drive it wipes all the data, so you would lose your OS, so of course it won't boot! If you want to re-install windows, you do it from system CD. If the install program only sees 7GB, you have a problem. Run manufacturers diagnostic and RMA if faulty and still under warranty. Many drives have 3 - 5 year warranty from manufacturer.
