Boot from ISO and run the installer, and in it format the virtual drive? How simple can it be? You do the same with Windows when you want to do a clean install.

Ease down on him. Your question was nowhere near the rules we have in the Forum Posting Guide, which you should have read and followed. He merely asked for a better description of your problem. I could have responded the same way, or even lock this thread because of insufficient information and not following the rules. Be grateful someone actually took the time to read your question and reply to it.
