Yes - my fault on this one, it was something I caught out of the corner of my eye on Google - have just just checked and seen that it's stuff like "Microsoft NOT putting out SP2". Thanks guys.
Hello All,
Just like to say I have sucessfully re-installed Windows 7 from the DVD onto unallocated space on my Disk #1, and as prophesied above by the wise ones, it came up as drive C - so objective achieved.
I still have my original Windows XP install on Disk #0 and by using the bios level boot device choice I have two independently bootable systems (so either boot up as drive C) with the "other" drive available as another drive letter. So, a happy bunny and I can now migrate my stuff from XP to Win7 at my leisure and then semi-retire XP when I'm ready.
So many thanks to all who posted the very helpful advice. And I've even finished the decorating :)
Might to check this out How to Stop System Restore Points from being Deleted in Vista and Windows 7 when Dual Booting with XP don't know if it is still valid. but when I set mine up a couple of years back it was certainly an issue.

...I'll check that out.
