Windows 7 on separate HDD
I am currently using Windows XP on Drive C:. I have a clean, secondary drive, that I am hoping to install Windows 7 on. During bootup I can interrupt the BIOS and select which one I would like to use.
From information I've read on this forum, I believe that it is best to disconnect my C: drive before installing Windows 7. At least that seemed to be a successful way of doing it.
Question: During the install doesn't Windows 7 look to see a valid version of Windows XP before proceeding? Of course, with the C: drive disconnected it won't see that. Or should I start digging through a box downstairs for an OEM CD?
Thanks.
Jim
