Installing Win7 to 2 partition HDD (previously XP)
My current Windows XP system has the HDD split into 2 partitions. I plan to move all my important data off of the C: drive to an external one temporarily and then blow away the C partition (leaving the D: partition with my other data). From there I will install Windows 7 to the blank first partition.
I know this would work with Windows XP and previous versions but will this work with Windows 7? Will Windows 7 play nicely with the previously existing D: partition? Are there any risks or issues associated with doing this? Appreciate your support. Thank you.
