Quick Installation Question
Ok so vista has screwed up on my bros laptop, it doesnt load past the logo and i cant do system restore and it doesnt detect any problems, so instead of trying to figure out whats wrong with it and stuff im just gna install my copy of Win7 on it.
Now the thing is that i want to be able to find some of the files that are currently on there now when im using windows 7.
When i installed windows 7 beta on my laptop (clean install) that had a broken copy of xp on it, it copied all the xp files onto the other harddrive(D) and went ahead and installed win7 onto the normal harddrive (C).
Now when i install windows 7 onto the laptop with the broken win vista on it, will it do the same sorta thing (copy the current files onto the other harddrive or a folder) so that i can access them when i load up win7 after its installed.
im asking this because on the clean install option it says that current files and settings will not be saved (something like that)
Thanks, any help would be appriciated, ask if i didnt make something clear.
THANKS
