Okay, this is what you need to : Open a CMD (with admin rights). Type the following: **note: this is going to erase everything off the HDD** diskpart list disk **now look in that list for your disk, in this example I'll use disk 1** select disk 1 clean create partition primary select partition 1 format fs=ntfs quick active exit exit Now copy the content of your Windows DVD to the HDD and boot it, easy as that! Good Luck, and Take Care! Rik
