Windows op systems

AMD 1.2 gig processor

80 gig wd harddrive (c: drive)

13 gig maxtor harddrive (d: drive)

ati radeon 9550 video card (256 meg)

LG cd-rom drive (e: drive)

LG DVDRAM drive (f: drive)

Pull the drive from the rack, and connect it directly to the PC.

Wipe the drive. I recommend DBaN for this task - just heed the warnings, and have only that drive connected to the system. DBaN is quite indiscrimate (by design), and will wipe every installed HDD in the system.

Take a look at your HDD boot order in the BIOS, and change as necessary.

I failed to say that the 80GB is a mobile rack system, where I can slide out and slide in any HD, 13 GB is data only. I did have Windows 7 on a 80GB that is my wife's, but I finally got around and installed it on her machine for more capacity. So I wanted to put Windows 7 on my 80GB, I did have Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop Edition on it. I deleted the partition and started a clean install for Windows 7.

What disc is it listed as in the BIOS?
