Sorry for the double--just started using cnet, and internet is being lethargic today.
I JUST bought an MSI gaming laptop with Win8 on it. I fought with it for a bit, and hated it. I just happened to have Win7 pro, and went with "kinder" install attempts, all of which 8 squashed, so I went into command prompt and formatted it out.
After error codes that I've managed to get through all of, I am now faced with Win7 demanding I set my hard drives up in...FAT32. ??? I thought FAT32 went out with Windows 98?
Anyway, with no windows in the machine, how do I get the hard drives to set-up to FAT32 so 7 will install?
