1. Your language is non-standard. Drivers are software
and we do not format software items. We format drives.
2. If an operating system SETUP will not begin installation
because an operating system already exists, you must
remove the existing system. Depending on the tools
available you could DELete c:\root\*.* and c:\windows\*.*
or else FORMAT C: or else repartition the drive to create
a new C: (and then format it.)
 
It sounds like you mean you selected more than one drive to install the OS
on. You can install over another OS but not while it is in use which
probably means that you started the setup from within Windows when you need
to boot from the CD not just insert it while Windows is running.
