You are given instructions for a reason. Don't ignore and then ask the questions that have already been answered. The link to the instructions shows Custom.
Go through the installation instructions. There are pictures. There is no reason for you to be asking that question, other than you simply not following the clearly marked instructions.
Also, do not post the same thing via PM and on the forum. Decide...one or the other.
Could I make it any more clear than this?:Instructions here in three parts and 34 pics Delete all partitions as indicated and install Windows 7 on the newly unallocated space.
Pics 9 to 15 are particularly relevant to you.0 -

And yes I didn't read through properly, u did give me a link. I got confused sorry0 -
I'm often helping more than one person at a time. So when I take the time to put together a guide, it can be annoying when it is disregarded and I have to be disracted from what I am doing, in order to answer questions that are answered in the guide anyway.
So check before asking....unless you like your head being bitten off at the neck.
Will be away from computer access for a while...0 -
