Please help me. I want to wipe clean my hard drive on my hp laptop and install win 7, it has vista now. One of the things I was told to use is Ccleaner, it can do a multi pass from 1-35 times.
If I do a full wipe, can I install OS with a bootable USB (I have it on USB)? And could I still get into the bios after the hard drive is wiped set to boot from USB and install win 7?
What about the drivers, do those go on there, or do you have to go to hp to download for the model I have? Also, if I delete all the partitions, is that bad? Or should I use GParted to make more and why would that be good? I can also just erase the C drive, there's a restore D drive, but its got Vista, which I want to get rid of. Sorry for all the questions. Please help me figure this out, thank you so much in advance :0)
