Boot to the Mint disk and use the "Guided - use entire disk" option when you see it.
That option will format your entire hard drive and install Mint.

Re: completely remoe vista
You should back up all of your data before you do that of course. A full install will remove everything currently on your system.
Re: completely remoe vista
If you want Mint to run a lot faster than in mint4win then dual boot. It's no more dangerous than a full disk install. And you keep your old OS (Vista).

I'd suggest you don't use the entire disk for your Mint. Make a /home -partition instead for all you files and settings. It makes re-installing any Linux much easier!markcynt wrote:Boot to the Mint disk and use the "Guided - use entire disk" option when you see it.

10gb should do for just the Mint installation.

Moving the /home partition onto a separate partition really helps to localise damage, as a filesystem corruption only kills Linux Mint, not the files stored on there.talava wrote:I'd suggest you don't use the entire disk for your Mint.
