angela · 14 Feb 2010 at 20:49

Hi,
Want to get new HDD,got Seagate atm 500GB (2 partitions-1st Windows Vista, 2nd Media Files).

I want to buy new HDD and install windows 7, will it work to have 2 OS's and boot whatever I want?

BETTER OPTION: is to possible to clean 1st Partition where is Windows Vista Installed and use Seagate HDD as a media storage/back up.
and on new install W7???

Thanks

good stuff, what about double boot than? hear many people have issue with it...

can I just simply install W7 on new HDD and leave Vista on seagate drive?

maybe, the only reason I want to keep vista for now, is because some of mine components don't have drivers for vista for now!

but maybe u r right!

and if I keep vista, how will I switch between to OS's? do I just put BOOT priority in bios for hdd I want to boot first, or???

heard DOS have errors in many experiences?
I probably will install W7 on new HDD and erase Vista from Older HDD and use it as media storage!

what's best option to erase Vista?
