Reinstalling Windows 7
I want to practice installing a clean win7 build.
Can I install win7 on a new partition on my big HDD and boot from it to verify?
I wouldn't attempt that without first disconnecting the new SSD. Odd things can and will happen if you do installs with 2 drives attached.
Other than that, sure. It's just like if your SSD failed and you had to revert to a spinning drive.
I assume you are going to use a downloaded ISO, burned to a DVD?
yes, I have the iso already burned to DVD.
Here's my partition layout:
Can I shrink partition K and create a new partition L that's 60GB and specify partition L during the Win7 installation?
I don't want to format and overwrite my big hdd. I want to limit my testing to just the new partition L.
Thanks!
Yes, follow the same steps given here: Dual Boot Installation with Windows 7 and Vista
You can do that. Just be aware that the bootmgr for that new installation will land in the 100MB system partition on that disk. So you will end up with a double boot situation on disk0.
