run diskpart command from a prompt.
Then each of these commands, followed by the enter key after each one.
list disk (to show the ID number of the hard disk to partition, normally Disk 0)
select disk 0 (change 0 to another number if applicable)
clean (this deletes all partitions)
create partition primary size=80000 (creates a partition with 80 GB space; to use the entire disk as one partition, omit the “size=value” parameter switch; use a similar command to create more partitions if needed or create in Windows 7 after installation)
select partition 1
active
format fs=ntfs quick
exit
