How to format on Windows 7

I have 2 partitions on my os drive should I DELETE or FORMAT on both..?

Deleting will remove my partition...? And format will wipe the partition clear so if this is the case I will format?

I don't need a partition so deleted both. I have this large unallocated space and pressed next now installing windows on it as we speak! Yay :)

After your done right click on "My Computer" then "Manage" "Disk Management" there you can format that unallocated space and put it to use.

Wouldn't it be great, if, the op had a button to add <solved> to the thread title.
And, glad you are up and running.

Why do you need a fresh installation of windoze for a ram upgrade ?

It was easier than I thought, but that's thanks to you guys :toast: :laugh:

Also, I might think of buying a SSD, I'm not going to buy an expensive one. Yet. :) Just one to see how it is and if I kill it ohwell XD

Patriot INFERNO 2.5" 60GB SATA2 SSD for $79. I would put OS and 1-2 of my MP games (bf3 etc) so maps load faster :D
