Cant Format with Vista CD

Hi,

isntallation procedure,with the Vista CD,it wouldnt allow me to format the
drive for reinstallation of Vista,and as it turns out,it was a bad install!

RE: Cant Format with Vista CD

You need to use the "advanced setup" settings/portion of the install ...
You absolutely can format from within setup ....
