What will happen?
I'm getting a new cpu(I5 650)/motherboard(Asus P7P55D-E) and ssd(Corsaid Nova 64gb) and plan on doing a clean install on the ssd - without the sata drives connected.
Will anything happen when I connect my old SATA drives with windows 7 on one of them? Will that windows 7 be recognized? Should I format that partition? If so, before or after entering win7?
Afterward... when I do a back-up and system image to my USB drive, will it just write over the version from the sata drive, or do I have to remove/delete it from the USB drive before doing that backup/sys image?
Trying to avoid surprises, I'm a geek, afterall.
