    I have a NP5790 sager with Vista on it. I want to clean install windows 7 on it and I actually found this link showing how to clean install windows 7 with an upgraded copy: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/31402-clean-install-upgrade-windows-7-version.html

    But my question is, how can I format my hard drive to be completely clean with nothing on it? And furthermore, I would like to know if any sager/clevo owners have run into any trouble or anything doing so.

    Thanks

    The Windows 7 installation will allow you to delete the existing partition. Then simply create a new installation
