Hello!Today i wanted to try linux AntiX and then switched to Q4OS i don't want to use them because it's really hard to install stuff....I tried to reinstal Windows 7 64 Bit but it gave me a error.I tried to fix the error watching some videos but they all say to make the usb stick unbootable...I can't boot in bios and i was wondering how can i wipe ALL data from the hard disk?

Have you tried deleting all partitions ?

You can also plug it into a USB enclosure and use easeUS partition (free version) to fully erase it, however it will take a long time

Please tag me @RTX 3090 so I can see your reply

normally you would have more than one, for example one boot partition and one main partition. take a look at this for example

when installing windows, delete all partitions, click on unallocated space, click next and let it automatically configure it's own partitions

Does your Windows installation get to where you can pick the drive? If so, you can delete partitions and format the drive there.

I'm not actually trying to be as grumpy as it seems.

I will find your mentions of Ikea or Gnome and I will /s post.

Where does it hang up while you're trying to install windows? That window that I screenshotted above is very early on in the installation process.

When you try to turn the computer on, it locks up before you can get into BIOS?
