JT! Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 I'm reformatting, on the page where it asks you where you'd like to install windows. There's two drives. Firstly, how do I get rid of a partition? I tried pressing delete, that got rid of all the data. The partition remains. What I need to do is get rid of one partition so it's just the one, then I need to change it from FAT32 to NTFS. I don't know how to do either. Trying to install windows vista because it's clearly the best operating system ever.There is an 'extend' button... should I press it?

Revolver Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 It's something you do as one of the very first things when installing it. That's all I remember on the subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted October 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 I'm gonna forget about the partitioning thing, that's no biggy. But I do need to change the drive I install windows to to NTFS because I can't install vista on anything else. I'm thinking if I hit format that'll give me the option to change it. Can anyone confirm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted October 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Done it, has to mess about in command prompt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
