Anyway, now when I try to install the 64bit windows 7, after selecting a boot device it leads me to "windows...

But as for the Win7 install on C:\, I want to reformat it so the owner of those PC's...

I've always ignored this topic, as I've never put it in to place on any of my own systems. I've always manually created my folders and date on a D drive, away from the OS. However, I'm about to build a new tower for my in-laws. There are 6 people in the house who will share this computer, including user accounts for each.
