I currently am running Win7 on my tb hard drive. My computer came with a 250gb hard drive in it and has been a couple different versions of xp and most recently vista. Long story short, Vista blows.

I would love to install xp on it after completely wiping it but I am for some reason not able to. Also, I am open to suggestions for a different OS. Preferably an OS that is different and has something that I could learn from/about.

I just need help reformatting the 250gb hard drive and suggestions on which OS I should install.

Help for formatting:

1. Go in BIOS and change the boot order, so your CD/DVD Rom drive is the first one.
2. Boot your computer with the CD/DVD In ( Win 7 OS )
3. Start Installing.
4. In somepoint there will be chance to Format / Delete / Create New partition.
5. Use Delete and wipe everything from your HardDrive.


Alternative Method:
1. Use some Low-Format tool to wipe everything.
2. Find Low-Format tools using Google.
