2 Windows 7

My new build installation of Windows 7 appeared on my monitor but when I booted the OS nothing appeared.
Confused and thinking the installation or new hard drive failed, I reinstalled the OS on another new drive.

My new Motherboard had no on board video and although it displayed the installation the Video card I installed had to have new drivers to display the OS.

I now have 2 drives with Windows 7.

How would I delete Windows 7 on one of the drives ?

Re format

Would that be using the Installation Disc or by using Disc Management ?

Sorry- I have no experience with this operation.

Success

Could not use Disc Management

Booted from Windows 7 and used installation page to delete partitions



Thanks

if both drives are connected to the PC then simply right click the other drive and select Format...it will be erased...
