if you want to wipe both c: and d: including all data, just reinstall on c: and format before install, then format d: when you have finished

a: i dont no what you mean mate
ive just sent you a PM

RIGHT::::first of all i install it again on C: i can do that
but the new install will still be in drive
how do i un-install it totally from drive
after i install a fresh copy on C

Do you want any data on the c: or d: drives? Can they both be wiped completely? Are there any restore partitions on the PC (from the manufacturer)?

i want to re-install windows on C: so its totally clean,and install it again
but how do i un-install it off so its clean

During the install, it should say, "Choose the location to install"..

At that point, you can use the D button to delete an existing partition, or just format c: and which is quicker

see part 6..

i can install windows on C: drive so its back to factory settings
with nothing on it-so its totally clean but when i do like i just have
when i go to my computer and click on drive
doc+settings-windows-and programe and files is there,

If you choose the format option

in part 6, it should wipe everything

when i right click on drive-then hit format,,
it gives me the format options of quick format or enable compression
what do i press then

albertross_2

quick format, ntfs

are you talking about within windows?

you can't format a partition if you are booted from it
