hi please be careful of typos than can mean 2 different things [ now i can even load windows] you mean can't ,right
anyway are you using the win7dvd to format and reload ,as you can't format/delete windows from within windows ,as it is being used

Hi,
Try downloading the program UBCD (link in my signature) , make a CD and boot your machine from that. You can format your drive check it to ensure it is OK check a whole list of other things before you reinsert your Windows 7 DVD to install again.

You can delete or format the partition by Windows 7 installation DVD, if there are files on your desktop, you'd better recover files before delete or format.
