Hi all, I'm new to this so I just want to see if this is possible:
I'm running Vista 64 and plan on clean loading Windows 7. However, I have 2 HDDs and I was wondering if I could use my second internal hdd (E as a backup for all the videos/music/etc that I have currently. Then I can just install W7 on my main hdd (C and be able to access all my backup files on the E: drive afterwards.
Also, when I get ready to do a clean install and it asks if I'd like to create a new partition or overwrite an existing one: Which do I choose? Currently on the main HDD there's (C and (D and D of course is the "factory_image" that we always have. Does this mean I should just overwrite C: and ignore D:? Or should I delete D and install over C?
Here's a screenshot of my HDDs and partitions to further clarify my setup. Thanks in advance!!
I also attached the original since PhotoBucket shrinked it down from 1680x1050.
