i bought windows 7 home premium because i'd planned on reformatting my computer. i currently have vista home premium installed and its a real bitch to get rid of.
1st i simply tried inserting the windows 7 disc, but it tells me i need to restart and choose the custom option on boot. tried that, nothing happened, won't even boot, doesn't even give me another operating systems to boot.
2nd i tried reformatting. for some reason i can't delete the partition. so i googled what to do and it says i need a recovery disc. well i don't have that. i have nothing but the desire to get rid of this operating system.
all i want to do is install this new operating system. preferably i would like to reformat my computer first but if i can't so be it. i would like to know my options with these tools at my disposal: mouse + keyboard and windows 7 disc.
