I had Windows XP on my original 500GB disk in my computer. We will call this DISK XP.
I bought a new 1TB drive and bought Windows 7 64bit to put on it. Call this one DISK W7.
I just recently moved all my old files from DISK XP to DISK W7 so I decided I wanted to format DISK...

Windows 7 can be installed by a variety of methods although the one we are interested here is the 'Clean Install' method.
This method can cause anxiety due to the 'Bios' changes that are used especially if the user is unfamiliar with entering the Bios and making changes.
