hi, i'm having a problem doing a repair installation of
windows. after i hit enter at the windows setup screen
(after booting from cd) it says it's scaning for previous
installations of windows, but then it goes straight to
the partition screen. and all i can do from there is
format my hdd. can anybody help me?
