Old hdd new build

[OzirisVII]

im building a new pc and i have all new parts except the hdd. i planed on using my old hdd it has vista on it and i purchesed a copy of windows 7 with all the new parts. what im wondering is how i go about using the old hard drive as the main drive for the new build due to the fact i dont have the money to spend on the inflated and outrageous prices of internal hdd's right now. do i just throw it into the new build and boot up with the windows 7 disk or should i wipe it using the old computer before i put it in the new pc. i dont care about the data on the hdd i want to start fresh anyway.

As long as you aren't planning on keeping any of the data on the hdd, just put the hdd in the new build, and boot up with the windows 7 disk. After clicking "install" you can choose the advanced method and there it will allow you to format the drive before you install Windows 7.
