  1. Windows 7 Reinstalling: does all of C:\ get written over?

    When reinstalling Windows 7, does all of the system drive get erased/formatted in the process (I think so) or only the C:\Windows folder and subfolders (which would have been ideal)? I forget since last time. Thank you.

This file is...
