| | Create Win7 installation on new disc and remove old Win7 install Scenario is I have a new sata3 SSD drive on which I want to install Windows 7. The PC has an existing build of Windows 7 on a different disc which i want to reformat & use for data. I tried this previously and ended up with a dual booting system. Trying to remove the old Windows 7 installation and format that disc created much trouble so now I'm starting again. |

| | Only have the SSD connected when you install the new OS. Then connect your old drive, boot into your new installation and format the old drive. All done. |

| | Absolutely! Just be sure the old drive is not connected while you are installing. And when you do connect it, check the BIOS to be sure you are booting from the new drive, not the old one. |
