Thread: Will my Hard disk be secure when I alter my OS from XP to Windows 7

I use XP 32 now and format the hard disk of 160 GB and install Windows 7 primary for builders. I have a hard disk of an inferior quality of TB with two NTFS partitions. I hope that in the execution of an upgrade disc, since the only reason I'm updating so you can re-install 64-bit versions of all my music production software, and all that follow the main unit are program files, so you 'd be essentially clean anyway, with all reinstalled. In addition, a new beginning is rarely a bad thing.

I have been reformatted and the operating system is in place several times, but never with a unit later in the equation. I have a recording studio, and is the main computer that runs all the programs to receive and record stores all files in the project. I can solve all the problems caused by the release of other slaves, but if I lose a data storage device that I'm done. I do not know what works or not, but still need a second opinion.

As far as we know it could be connected to the hard drive storage, at the same time also be installed. He does nothing to the destination drive is a WD 160GB and only affect the race. That will keep the time you disconnect and reconnect again. Well, I've never tried this, but you can try again. I hope that this really works for you, and if so will the answer may help others. So all the best.

As I said, you do not have a problem. The only advantage is that you disconnect it certainly is not ruining the wrong disc format! However, it should be obvious, is a graphical user interface and ask the driver to install: disk 0 partition 1, disk 1 partition 1, and finally disk 1 partition 2. Obviously, in this example you want the disk 0, since the operating system disk with a partition. Most likely it will be from 0 disk you want, unless the hard drives installed in the same time, in which case it could be connected to a power outlet.

But if you insist that out, it still works when you return to Windows 7 Personally, I installed Windows 7, the WD 320 GB and I had an old 80 GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 by. I thought I was a little wasted, 'so I take it back for additional storage. And it was just plug and play as a memory stick. Windows does not recognize it, and there it was in full swing. However, the short answer is no, you do not lose data storage format for the main unit.
