Thanks. Now when ever there are too much junk in my hard drive, I can do a clean install again.

[@vinny1995]

thanks for the vid. One suggestion for others: some computers prompt you to hit any key to read from the CD/DVD, even if you have already changed the Bios settings to read from the CD/DVD first. I couldn't understand why my computer was bypassing the OS installation CD until I waited through boot up and saw this prompt to hit any key to boot from the CD/DVD.

Will this process work for me?

My screen looks more grainy? Idk if I've been doing something wrong, but I installed windows 7 on my old computer, the one I just built, and my laptop.
