In the Windows installer you need to delete all the partitions starting with the last one first, then Windows should install. Sorry you did not like running Linux.

Another option is to download killdisk free and wipe the entire disk..

Hey, I run Linux Mint on an USB drive initially; now I run it on an external hard drive.exploder wrote:In the Windows installer you need to delete all the partitions starting with the last one first, then Windows should install. Sorry you did not like running Linux.
I shall confess that running on an external hard drive is WAY WAY faster than running on an USB drive, and it is also faster than Windows 7 on my hard drive.
