Do I need to format my harddrive?
Last response: in Storage
I am building a new PC and everything in it will be new except my Hardrive. I will be reusing a 1t Barracuda hardrive that has Windows xp 32.
The OS I will use for the new build is OEM Windows 7 64.
If I need to format my old hardrive to use it in the new build how do I go about doing it?
Thanks for any help I can get.

You should format while installing Windows 7, you can do it in the install setup. This is the prefered method; as Windows 7 creates partitions differently than older versions or third-party software.
A quick format should be fine; simply first delete all partitions, then hit enter on the "unpartitioned space" that remains.
