i want to upgrade my os from xp to w7, but due to low space of hardrive (left 8 gb only
) i cant install w7, i want to format...but im scared it will wipe all out..since w7 cd can start in win32 unlike xp cd which require a restart..i dont know any other ways and im completely new about this...i need help..
Buy a Wins 7 disc then boot it in dos(set the bios CD/DVD rom boot first ,you may disable second boot and thirth boot method) .When it ask you "where do you want to install" or sthing like that ->find "drive oftion " and format that volumme .Next,choose the volumme (drive) after format ->install (15-30 min)->auto reboot ->set the bios back to :"first boot method : hard disc(HDD)"->done
there isn't much that you can do wrong... reading the informations on your monitor should be enough to make a fresh install^^
/Just answering your question
boot - press f8 - Load system symbol only - RD /s all your directories then... del *.*
Enjoy your empty computer xD

On a serious note.. if all you want to do is format... then just restart your pc with the win7 DVD on... when it ask where do you want to install you can delete / create and manage your actual partitions.. But be aware.. you are going to(lol) lose all your data.
Omfg i just saw admin89 posts. but nvm =)
Back in the day, fdisk was the way
woop...i didnt know it can be functioning as win xp cd, thanx guys
do i need to press f8 during restarting? ...
grab a hammer, and beat up your hdd.
