Please read the whole thing, there is much to this question.
I only have one hdd, I have reinstalled xp on it numerous times, now reinstalled Win7 numerous times as well, now its running really slow, with nothing else running I cant even watch a video without the video freezing constantly and I just reinstalled today. NO I cant buy a new hdd at this time and it will be awhile before I can.
Going through the setup process I get to the hdd screen with the partitions, it doesnt give me the option of formatting, just choosing which drive I want the OS on. The only hdd I have obviously is the one that holds my OS. How can I fully format it, partition it so the OS is on the partition and NOTHING ELSE saves to that partition, and then how do I install the OS on that partition?
Or if I need to do the partitions a different way please let me know the best action I should do, without buying a new hdd.
