I have Windows XP 32-bit OS and 64-bit processor. I want to upgrade my XP to Windows 7 64-bit.I downloaded Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor and my computer passed test for Windows 7 64-bit but I know I'll have to perform clean install of Windows 7. I have two hard disks and if I install Windows 7 on one of my hard disks, am I going to lose data from another one? Please help!!!
You wont lose data unless you pick the wrong disk to install win 7 on. You should however ALWAYS have a backupI have Windows XP 32-bit OS and 64-bit processor.

But how to install hard disk without losing data in it?
Do you in fact have 2 separate internal hard drives?
If so, decide which of those 2 you want to install Windows 7 onto.
Disconnect power from the other one.
If the drive you will be installing Windows 7 on contains any data you care about, you should copy that data to the other drive just before you disconnect it.
Then install Windows 7 to the drive that still has power.
Thanks a lot :) if i plug it back, will it be automaticly installed?
Yes.
It should be recognized immediately.
but what if i don't have separate hard disks, what if i have one hard disk discreted on two parts C and D disk. Can I save data on one part of my hard disk?
and install windows 7 on another part without losing data from first part?
