    Thanks Z3tor
    You have supplied me with some great information.
    However what I want to do is format the whole hard drive, then form a partition of 40 gig and install Windows 7 on this partition.

    Just boot up to a Windows 7 disc and use the partition editor it gives to partition the way you want, and then just proceed to install windows 7
