	Installing Windows 7, Vista, XP or 2000

Solution To reinstall Windows 7, Vista, XP or 2000, you will need your Installation CD.

Note: Windows 7, Vista, XP and 2000 require more computer resources than Windows 95, 98, or Me. If your system originally had one of these versions of Windows consult the Hardware Compatibility list at Microsoft.com to see if your system can support a newer Windows operating system.

After using WipeDrive to Wipe your Drive clean, Insert the Windows installation CD into the CD drive. Make sure that there are no other disks in the computer, and restart.

(This instruction applies even if you finish wiping and end up at the A: DOS prompt.)
At the "Welcome to Setup" screen, press the Enter key to set up Windows.
Press the C key to continue setup.
Press the F8 key to agree to the license.
Press the C key to create a partition.
Enter the size of the partition, or just press the Enter key to use maximum size.
Select the "New (Unformatted)" option, and press the Enter key.
Select NTFS or FAT file system (select NTFS if you are unsure).
Simply follow the prompts to install Windows.
