I want to install a fresh copy of Win 7 on a second actually third hard drive my question is do I just run it from my present Windows installation or do I run at boot up from the BIOS?
My quandary is when in the BIOS I can't tell which drive is which? Its been a while since I did this last so any assistance is welcome!

I do not want to wipe out my present installation is my question
