If you did a clean install of Windows (formatting the drive during the install process), then your hard drive should now only have Windows on it. Please explain what you did to reinstall Windows.

Well, I don't think you know whether you formatted or not. If you had deleted the partition and reformatted the unpartitioned space, then you would have wiped the drive before reinstalling Windows (a clean install). If you didn't do this then you either did a dirty install (installed over the previous copy of Windows) or a parallel install and now have two copies of Windows on your drive.

i just put in the cd and did everything it told me to, the only problem was the partition part, but i solved that one i think, i deleted the old path
