Go to WD's website and download their disk managemnet software, run the zero drive utility to completely overwrite and wipe the drive clean, this will allow you to do a " fresh " install of any Windows OS.

Once you've used the zero fill utility the do a regular FDISK/FORMAT procedure on the drive and proceed to install your chosen OS. http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/smile.gif

When doing an install of an OS it's always best to do it from a " clean " install-on a fresh platter so to speak.
