windows 7 on new ssd, old hdd for data
I apologize if this is covered, but i couldn't find my specific situation in any of the threads on the subject.
I currently run Vista Ultimate 64 bit on a 500gb HDD. I have recently purchased the UPGRADE version of Windows 7 Professional 64 bit as well as a new 80GB SDD.
End state, I want 7 installed on the SDD and nothing but my data files on the HDD (i've read the tips of tuning the install and 7 for SDDs and am comfortable with that).
When I go to do the install, I'm expecting to be able to format the HDD to remove vista entirely, leaving me with a blank SSD and a blank HDD, then do a clean install onto the SSD of windows 7.
Are there any "gotcha" type of items for me to keep in mind? Is there anything stopping me from this? It's been awhile since i reinstalled an OS. Can I do all of the above mentioned formatting from the Custom installer?
Thanks for any clarification.
