Help Needed.
Hiya first off, i am so happy to have found a forum like this. It is very much needed.
Big thanks.
Ok i bought windows 7 yesterday and followed the infomation just to upgrade from windows vista to the NEW O.S 7.
Activated the product key and everything is great.
But now What i want to do is have a clean install, as i think it would be better so i can reinstall everything,
and leave things off that i dont want.
I use my computer to create my own music, so i am cluless realy when it comes to thease things.
I read on here how to do a clean install and was in the prossess of doing it!
when i came to selecting the drive to install Windows 7 to and noticed i had 3 drives.
1) Is .... my Slave drive i save all my files,music,pictures,programs,VSTi's,Sample Packs and other important stuff.
2) Is .... My C - Drive
3) Is .... My Recovery
I went to [format C drive ] and it said by doing so things that came with the manafacture settings will be lost.
So i stoped the instalation and needed to find help.
If i had carried on would i have messed up my pc or was i doing it right and the info box that poped up just scared me as i didnt know what i was doing.
Sorry to sound dum.
I also installed the 32.bit cd as you get both 32.bit and 64.bit
And i think i could of infact installed the 64.bit CD instead.
My Computer Info....
Disk Space .... 97.9 GB free space of 143GB
Processor Intel(R)Pentium(R) D CPU 2.80 GHz
Installed memory [RAM] 2.00GB
Vista 32.bit [Home Prem] changed to [Windows 7 Upgrade Home Prem] 32.bit.
Also if i was doing it all right and can install the 64. bit form a clean install
if i ever had to reformat my computer for some reason or other would i still be able to press f10 and go through it like that, or would i haft to use the Windows 7 cd?
Sorry for the so many questions..
