Would it be practical to make another partition and install windows there? Like a B: Could I somehow boot into that partition then format the C: from there? Ugh. This is getting frustrating. I stayed up until 4 am last night installing windows and now I'm doing it all over again. I just wish I knew how to wipe my HD and reinstall windows clean and simple. Formatting seems to be the part where I'm lost. I can't format while I'm running windows, when I'm not running windows and am just in dos, or when I try to reinstall windows from the cd. Grrrrr. Why can't I just right-click and delete?!
