What is the correct method to remove/wipe Windows 7 Beta for a clean install of Windows 7 RC on a multi-boot system.
At present I have four OS partitions, one of which is Win 7 Beta on drive H:, and three XP home on drives E: F: and G:, the Win 7 boot-loader gives the option of loading Win 7 or starting the XP boot-loader for previous installations. As I see it, I cannot just format the Win 7 partition as this will not take account of the Win 7 boot-loader on drive C:.
This particular problem will arise again for me in Jan 2010 when Win 7 RC expires as I shall not be installing a full release of Win 7 on this old computer.
