Just for future refference when i want / need to reinstall windows 7 (64bit).
Windows is currently installed on (C) local.
New volume (J) extra internal hard drive for music / media ect.
seagate (K) is just an external 1tb drive for media backup.
System reserved (I) <----- i beleive this is where my boot manager files are installed when windows was installed to the (C) local drive.
what i want to know is:
"if" i was to reinstall windows would the installation process automaticaly wipe the boot manager "system" reserved partitian and create a fresh one or would it leave it behind and i would end up with 2 boot manager partitians causing me problems when i come to load my fresh install of windows ?
hope i've explained this correctly, cheers.
Ps pic of my diskmanagement:
here is a snapshot of my Disk management.
looks like the (I) is linked to the (J) drive?
oddly enough i deleted the (J) drive yesterday and reformated that and windows still boots so i dont think the boot manage files are installed on that.
