OK, I did not read this all, but will try to help. when your computer starts up, go into BIOS(usually done by pressing "del" you might want to just continually tap it) then look around for the setttings which allow you to frirst boot from your CD rom drive. after that pres whichever keys it wants for you to continue, then delete the partition. YOU SHOULD NOT BE IN A WINDOWS ENVIROMENT WHILE DOING THIS. create a new ntfs partition then do a fresh install ontop of that. if all else fails, try deleting the partition using a dang ubuntu CD or something and then making a new NTFS partition with the windows disc I hope this helps.
if this doesn't work out, try getting a bootable OS, like Knoppix, or MinPE. those will run straight off the cd, and you can easily reformat using the tools on there. heres some more:
hm..well im kinda confused a bit You aint got a floppy drive so only got a CD drive and you want to get rid of the stuff on the HDD Follow this for deleting/installing partitions http://www.gamerenders.com/forum/index.php...opic=163529&hl= I suggest using the boot OS ie UBCD Ive tried em myself [Master Comp Genius] :wub: and wheres Defuzion-lol
Yep, the bootable OS's can really come in handy when your Windows corrupts, and you have important files. Ive done it several times with Knoppix, put it in, boot off the cd, get your files you want to save, burn a cd-r, shut down, reformat, install windows, put your files back on the computer, boom, your back where you left off...
