When inserting my Windows installing CD to my new Pc to install windows, I did not see the "format C " option which I used to see on my old Pc.
Why that happened ? and how to fix it ? Thank you

Which version of Windows you have? If it's a new PC with possibly a completely blank drive (raw) you shall see 'Unpartitioned Space' rather than any Drive Letters, on a screen where it asks you 'Where to install windows'.. – patkim – 2016-04-12T05:58:03.180
@pat2015 , thanks for reply , it was windows 7 which my Pc came with, when trying to install Xp pack 3 I could not see the format option. The drive also came partitioned to 2 drives. So I did not saw "unpartioned space". To install Xp I had to creat another partion and install xp on it and to delete the partion where windows 7 installed. I tried latter to repartion my HD but that did not fix the problem and get me a HD with 3 partions and unallocated space – Gamal Thomas – 2016-04-12T11:40:25.827
I tried to install XP through an installation CD. and I also tried to install windows 7 through a CD but also I cant find the format option. – Gamal Thomas – 2016-04-12T11:48:29.623
