Vista Reinstall Problems

[Chris]

Hi

Ive got an OEM copy of vista installed on my pc at the mo and have decided to do a fresh install but when i go to reinstall vista it won't let me format the HD with it on so in theory not giving me a fresh install.

Is there anyway round this or will it be fine to reinstall vista over the original version?

Thanks

Chris

dont you have the "drive options (advanced)" tab on the install GUI?
