Jan 12, 2009 #1 Q qwertyaas Gawd Joined Jun 25, 2007 Messages 760 I am planning on dual booting W7 on a spare HD. Question is, in order to completely remove W7, do I just have to format the drive and remove the W7 boot up from startup options, or is there another method to fully remove the second OS?
