You'd need another system to connect the drive to, then format it. Or, you could format from a bootable Windows installer, there should be an option for that when selecting the disk to install to.

Hey,

If you have a USB boot drive or disk drive there is an option as you go on to install to delete partitions, you should do all of them and then re format the main one as a basic drive.

 

Hope this helps,

TT

There are SATA/PATA to USB cable adapters you can use to connect the drive to another system via USB. I would advise you to run some kind of disk check before installing Windows. Just because this could be a sign the drive might be dieing. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.

Just boot with windows setup disc and before the install part, click format.
