How to install Win7 on portable TBHD without dataloss?
Hello SevenForums
Heres is my story/problem:
My desktop pc crashed, and after some investigation it turns out that the main hard drive is probably dead... So i thought i would install win7 onto my portable terabyte and use that until the problem is fixed by my computer guy.
Anyway when i tried to install win7 onto my hard drive, i realised 2 things:
- Windows will clear my TB HD when it installs.
and
- Windows cannot install onto a USB device.
So this is where i need your help, I need to install windows 7 on my portable hard drive without removing any data on it. I have tried to partition my hard drive with easyus as a friend recomended, but it says i need to convert it to a logical, and i cant do that because it says something about clearing the HD.
Sorry if i confuse someone...
Thanks in advance
