Installing Win 7 by formatting disk
Last response: in Windows 7
Hi,
I've been trying to format my drive and install a fresh copy of Windows 7. Apparently I ran the setup file smoothly until I've reached the stage whereby I should have a tab to allow me to "Format" the drive, but I don't see that tab. I have no idea how to format this drive at the moment.
I tried to run the installation by booting through CD, but my bootup don't seem to detect the CD which I burn Win7 onto.
Can anyone help me on this issue? I have a 36GB WD Raptor and have only 1.4GB free of space at the moment, so I can't install the OS over and delete off the "old windows". It requires me 9GB of free space to do so. I can't do a clean format on my OS drive at all.
Thanks.
