    If you just go ahead and start the Windows 7 install does it not allow you to the option to muck around with the partitions before you pick which one to install on?

    Are you sure you want too delete the other partitions? Too make it clear Simple Basic is your boot partition 173MB, Simple Basic NTFS is your recovery partition 3.05 GB, this partition is the one that your going too use when ever you want too restore your computer to its factory default setting, the other 2 partitions are for your OS and DATA partition. If you are sure that you want too delete the other partitions and to make a large partition, you can use your disk management tool, under computer management which is under the administrative tools in your control panel. Hope this will help you.

    eh!? Windows will create a new boot partition anyway. And the assumed recovery partition is 96% free! It's a bizarre and unnecessary arrangement of partitions to ship on a PC imho.

    OP, like bhickey said, you will get the opportunity to delete all partitions when you go through the install. Just make sure you go through the customisation part, not the default install. Delete all partitions, create one new one, format & install. Just make sure you have one, maybe two things beforehand, 1) network drivers, and 2) graphics drivers. Having said that, there's a 100% you won't need either..
