Have pirated copy of windows to remove? Solved/Closed

Question

Hello, 
I bought a copy of windows 7 online but when I installed it I keep getting a message that it is not geniune.
I have removed ALL microsoft applications but it is still on the machine and I can't get rid of it. I have purchased a genuine copy today but am worried about installing it whilst this rubbish is still there.
I am not very computer literate so am clueless of where to start and any instructions need to be basic!
Thanks


Configuration: Windows 7 / Internet Explorer 7.0

Just format the hard disk when installing Windows (I believe that is the default) - That should delete everything.

Good Luck

Hi.
There wouldn't hurt nothing if you just formatted all the drive from the windows disc .
You don't need to delete it before , but anyways -
use GParted and delete everything you see there.
