Help Installing Fresh Win 7 on different hardrive partition (primary)
Currently I have two 500gb HD's; one is system and one is primary. On the system there are two win 7 installed on it (one won't boot, the other running too slow). I want to try and do a fresh win7 install on the other free HD marked as primary and have already formatted it. When I tried to install win 7 on it wouldn't let me ( can't remember message). So far I understand you can only install WIN7 on a partition marked as system am I correct? I was wondering if there was a way to convert the primary partition to system, I was unable to do this in windows disk manager. Is there some software that can do this easily. I don't want to do a full formatting of both drives as of yet, is there a workaround here? The system partition is marked as healthy, system, boot, and the other partition is marked as primary. This is from just what I remember. If it is crucial I can boot the system again and give exacts. Thanks in advance.
