Is there a way to do a complete format with Vista?

Hey guys.

Put Vista 64-Bit on one of my other systems, however, there's still a lot of stuff on there from last time.

Like XP, is there a way with vista to do a total format leaving the PC 100% clean?

Cheers

Click Advanced options in the cusom install, and choose format?

Cheers, I'll boot from CD again and have another look.

Ok.... Done that. It's only one click of a button and it formats within like 5 seconds? :S

Damn double post. sorry

Yep, it's a quick format. Only difference between quick and full is the checking of bad sectors. Not often worth doing a full format, tbh. The partition will be empty.

what csmager said is correct
