cliff Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 HiI'm new to win 7 and i've just bult my self a media center Pc, i installed win 7 ultimate 64 bit on a 2tb drive, i put windows on a 60 gig partition and the rest is used for data. My problem is, i need to reinstall windows as a few things have gone wrong and i'm not sure about the small system partition that setup created when i set up my partitions, if i format my c drive and reinstall windows, will it create a new systen partition within the c drive or will the origional one be used? I hope this makes sence. i'll provide more info if needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to touch it at all, you only need to format your C drive and reinstall.Greetings. Edited April 1, 2011 by cannie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
