    Windows XP to 7, will my data HD still be there?


    I'm upgrading from XP to 7 today. I have 2 Hard Drives (well, 3; 2 are in RAID 0 as my C: drive for windows), my question is will windows 7 see my data hard drive(J) and all my data once I've upgraded? Its just massive amounts of music(itunes), videos, and my entire family photos collection (very important!).

    I don't have an external hard drive to use, but I do have other spare old internal hard drives (SATA) if need be.

    Hello Cyberfish, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    You would have to do either a custom install or clean install from XP to Windows 7 on the C: drive, but Windows 7 should have no problems seeing your data hard drive afterwards. :)
