Default Help to reinstall Windows 7 on Dell Mini 1012 - 03-22-2011, 02:39 PM

Help!!! When I first bought my Dell I did the Hackintosh thing, and split the HD 50/50. The fun of having the Mac has worn off. So I wanted to expand the HD to the full 250 GB with a fresh Windows install. When I try to start the install process the HD is visible, but Windows will not install to it? Do I need to install the drivers first? If so when I put the disk in all I get is diagnostic menu. No drivers. Please someone help.

Thanks.

Alright finally! I got it figured out. I had to use Diskpart and change the attributes of read only. Done!
