How to install windows 7 from scratch on a disk which already contains partitions
- by rangalo
Hi,
I have following partitions on a 1 TB disk.
14 GB UNKNOWN recovery partition
100MB NTFS System Reserved partition for Windows 7
448GB NTFS Windows 7 system partition
468GB NTFS Data partition for windows 7
Now because of the problems mentioned in my other question here
I got a brand new windows 7 cd and want to install it from scratch after deleting all the extra partitions. But windows 7 installation doesn't give me such options. It refuses to touch the 14GB Recovery and 100 MB (reserved by previous windows 7) partition.
Any ideas ?
Note: Because of it is a dynamic disks most of the freely available tools refuse to delete the partitions on the disk.
regards.
