Hi
Advice please.......
I have windows7/8 upgrade, new additional hard drive which is twice as large as current one.
I want to now install windows on new drive which has been partitioned to have XP and Linux installed as well to mess about with...
Do I have to disconnect internally the current additional drives, including the current C drive? or Can I simply go into the BIOS and changing the boot sequence to the new drive and the primary partition?
Re-boot and hope it will got there, find no system and install there...... or CD primary to pick up the installation disk and then install to new hdd?
Then hopefully simply wipe the old drive with the windows on it from old and start fresh.... all data etc has been backed up already.
I just don't really want to delve into the case and leads etc to disconnect!!
Any thoughts please from you experts?
best wishes
Steve
