Need help with an idea for my current situation (Windows 7 Install).
Okay, long story short, my SSD crapped out on me and it happened to have Windows 7 installed on it. I still have a HDD installed which I used mostly to store games on (it's a gaming PC), and I had an idea.
So what I was wondering was, because OCZ are being pretty slow with the RMA process, is there some way I would be able to install Windows 7 onto a new partition on the HDD with affecting anything that's already on it? My HDD as is doesn't currently have any partitions as I mostly install games on it, so I just separate things via folders. So prior to installing Windows 7, I'd need to somehow make a new partition big enough to then install Windows 7 to.
And then, when I get my replacement SSD, install that and then Windows 7 onto that, and have that as the main boot option leaving the Windows 7 installation on my HDD unused, but as a backup incase the SSD dies again.
Is this possible, and can someone please carefully talk me through the process if so. Simple explanations preferable!
Thanks in advance for any help!
