Cant Format with Vista CD

Hi,

I have just done a re-installation of Vista,but at the beginning of the
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!

thanks for helping

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