help to format a asus Eee pc900

[gee73]

I need some help, i ve installed windows 7 on my sons note book with no problems. So my friend asked me to install it on her eee pc 900 note book. but near the end of install it cut out on me. i had knocked out the power supply and didnt notice. so now everytime i try to cont with the install i get the error telling to restart the pc and the install will cont. but it doesnt. is there a way to format this note to start afresh.

do a fresh install and not continue the existing install, with windows 7 any operating system already on the hd will be put into a folder and called old windows which can be deleted at a later date.

this is were the prob is i cant start fresh install. evertime i try to restart it goes right to set up again and thats where am getting the error message.

use the following link to hirens boot cd and use it to format the hd then you should be able to do a clean install.

after power-on the eepc press the "esc" key, boot menu will appear, and select the usb cd-dvd to boot, and then install a fresh copy of win, when u get the hdd detecting screen delete all the partitions... hope understand what to do

you have change the order in which your pc will boot in the bios from first boot option hd to cd/dvd then you can use the hirens boot disk to format your hd.
