do i still have my computer built in software like internet explorer all this paint and stuff like that?

Internet Explorer is included with Win7.
Paint, Notepad, Wordpad things like this are in the OS by default.

will i still got my graqic card and my keyboard and mouse?

Keyboard and mouse the OS uses default drivers for those.
If you have a multimedia keyboard you may have to get drivers for the extended functions but that is usually not a issue now.
Video card if it is onboard then the MOBO drivers disk will have it.
If a add on card it would depend on the age of it if win7 has the drivers. If not we can most likely find them for you.
Now to do a format and reinstall of Win7 follow the tutorial below.

You are welcome.

it should be but just asking a question, how many times can you reformat using the same disk

and how do you find out which driver do you install windows 7 on because my uncle helped me with everthing for this computer but he is in overseas for buisness because when i wanted to reformat the screen shows me three drivers and i dont know which to reformat

As long as the disk is not damaged then you can reuse it endlessly.
If you are asking about the hard drive that us hard to tell since they are all a but different in their life span.
I've had hard drives last 10 years or more and some last less then month.

Your main hd is always the one your OS goes on unless you are doing a multi boot with more then one hard drive. If you don't know how many hard drives you have try this.

Go to Start then to Run
Type in compmgmt.msc and click Enter
On left side click on Disk Management
On right side you will see you hard drive.
Now I need you to take a screenshot and attach it to your next reply. Do the following to take a screenshot while the above is open and showing on your desktop.

To do a screenshot please have click on your Print Screen on your keyboard. It is normally the key above your number pad between the F12 key and the Scroll Lock key
Now go to Start and then to All Programs
Scroll to Accessories and then click on Paint
In the Empty White Area click and hold the CTRL key and then click the V
Go to the File option at the top and click on Save as
Save as file type JPEG and save it to your Desktop


Attach it to your next reply

The partition marked as C is the one you will install the OS to.
The last partition seems to be used for Data I'm guessing at this point.

[TZB]

when i reach the part which show the drive, there is no c drive

[rshaffer61]

Is it asking about a existing Windows installation?

[TZB]

ya it ask where do you want to install windows 7

[rshaffer61]

Yep then what you want it to do is to replace the existing installation.
It should then ask about formatting and then warn you that all data will be lost.

[TZB]

do i format all the drive that is shown or delete them than install windows7
